Darcey and I start each morning with hugs and cuddling. Today she said, "Happy day before Thanksgiving!" With tears in her eyes, she continued to comment as to how, a year earlier, she was pretty certain she wasn't going to see the holidays come around ever again. "But here we are... I made it!" And the smile on her face was something special to behold.
Tomorrow, we'll cook up two turkeys to take to our family gathering at Mom's house. Darcey won't be doing the cooking, but she will supervise... and my son Jim, daughter Connie and I will act as her hands. Dad will not join us this year other than in spirit. Darcey's brother and his family won't be joining us as they'll be in New York (niece Emily is in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade with her fellow UVA band members). But we'll still have a pretty good crew to celebrate the day and all the many things we have to be grateful for.
So, from our family to yours... and to the many of you who are our extended family, here in these forums... HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We hope you are able to find as much to be thankful for as we do.
