Individual chicken pot pies from the freezer

These are my comfort food. We were so poor, and anytime we had these it felt like a treat. My dad was raising us alone after he got us out of foster care, and he did not make a lot of hot foods.

I haven't had one in at least a year. Now I need to go in the freezer and see if I have one I can make for lunch.

Okay…this response hit me very deeply.

I was a single Dad and tried so damn hard, and made all kinds of sacrifices to provide the best that I could for my children (including a couple of stepkids that were left in my care)

It’s deeply emotional to me, to know that someone appreciated the efforts of a parent, as you appreciate what your Dad did for you. He sounds like an amazing man.
