it's Thanksgiving - the time of year to be thankful for - well whatever you are thankful for. in all reality we should be thankful every day - not just this one time of the year. Of course we can't eat that big turkey dinner every day - we'd all be sleeping all of the time.
This year I am thankful, extremely thankful:
- for my two wonderful healthy boys. who teach me patience every day and to really know what life is all about it. seeing the world through children's eyes is such a humbly experience.
- for my family, both immediate and extended - we have been through a lot this past year, and through it all we stuck together, and grew closer - as annoying as that is to some people, but we manage to grow closer and realize what it means to be a family.
- to all my friends and people in my life who have stuck with me and have helped me these past couple of years - I thank you!
- to my dad: even though you aren't here with us and this is our first holiday without you, I know you are here in spirit and you are looking down on us - we miss you like crazy. But we know you are in a much better place and you and Uncle Wally will be toasting to all of us tomorrow.
I could go on and on but these are just some of the things I am thankful for. This time last year is when both dad and Uncle Wally started to not feel good - it was the beginning of the end I guess you could say. But I know they are both up there with all of their friends and family who are up there with them, having a big huge turkey dinner - and toasting and cheering and having a great ole time.
Safe travels to all who are traveling this weekend especially Aunt Bernie and Uncle Dave/Aunt Joan - may your journey be safe.
Many blessings to everyone and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! And if you are going out shopping on Friday - not only are you crazy, but be careful :)
Miss and love you dad!
Much love to all,
