Crispy Buffalo Chicken Rolls.

Crispy Buffalo Chicken Rolls is an award winning recipe.

What if I had called him that day? What if he had accepted the invitation to visit his aunt, and cousins who were in Wilmington? Extend his stay in the military? What if he had opted out? The questions come fast and furious following my son's death in a car accident. What if it could have been prevented? There will always be more questions than answers and that is what makes the loss and the grief journey so prolonged.

Every griever has their own unique set of questions. Of course the answer I search for is that he would be alive. He'd be home and hanging out like usual. He was supposed to be done with the navy in March 2011. Trust me I tried to convince him to not extend his stay, but he, like always, came up with a good defense. "It's like this mom. My brothers are going to be deployed one more time and I need to be with them. If anything ever happens to them and I am not there I could never forgive myself." He makes me so proud to be his mom. And for the friends and brothers who knew him you could not have a more loyal and committed player on your team.

This Sunday is the Super Bowl. It's the biggest game day ever for all kinds of chicken wing recipes and Buffalo this or that. But "what if" you arrive at the grocery store to find chicken wings selling for $4.69/pound (highway robbery) versus boneless/skinless chicken thighs and breasts for $1.99/pound? I'll tell ya in our house we ain't havin' no wings---no questions asked. This recipe for crispy buffalo chicken rolls is a great alternative. Give it a try.

    These were one of my first recipes I ever made of yours and John requests them all the time!!! I understand the need to question what happened with your son but he sounds like such a wonderful man I don't think he would want you to.

      Happy to hear that John like my recipe. And you are right about my son--he'd tell me to get over it.

    Looking in the rear view mirror does prolong the agony...with everything.

    Chicken thighs are underrated. I'll never understand how people think white meat chicken tastes better than dark.

    I spent a lot of time writing short stories that were my "what if" alternative endings that I imagined for a similar-but-totally-different life tragedy. I totally understand that impulse. Your son sounds like an amazing man. And yeah, that is highway robbery for chicken wings...

      Thanks for reading and sharing such a thoughtful comment. There are so many kinds of loss and grief reactions. I think about the loss of going through a divorce or losing a job or a home to mother nature's wrath.....how about a parent that walks out on the family or a mom who gives up her baby for adoption? Life is so difficult and the writing helps us adapt. A creative outlet even though we are looking in the review mirror. Thanks for the compliment on my son. Yes, a good man.
