Great Times, New Memories!!

I wasn't sure how this Thanksgiving would play out for me. Losing my Mom in June has been a very painful experience and I didn't know how I would handle Thanksgiving without her. I did have a hard time the day before and was very depressed and had a difficult day. I came home from work on Wednesday night to find these from my wonderful husband Pink being one of my favorite colors (purple my other) , I though this was so loving and thoughtful!

My husband and I had a nice talk about my Mom and my feelings and I somehow was able to let go and think of the good things about Thanksgiving's past and believe that my Mom was there with me.

My husband and I had been estranged for quite some time so this was also our first Thanksgiving together in years and I wanted it to be a special one and it sure was. We invited my favorite brother and sister in-law over for a new tradition. Janis lost her parents last year, both in the same month and was having a really hard time. So we thought it would be great to spend the day together. And I have to tell you we had a blast!! It was one of the best holidays ever! We laughed our asses off, talked about our parents (all of us are parent-less), ate like pigs and played cards, our favorite thing to do while hanging out. I was really happy about the day and how things went and am looking forward to doing this each year with them. There is nothing like love. family, friends and big belly laughs to help you through life.
