This year, I find that I am most grateful that we all made it.
I am thankful for:
- my son, who makes me laugh
- my husband, my heart
- my parents, who are always there even when I’m driving them crazy
- my sister, she always has a few words and and glass of Moscato ready
- my extended family, who love me like their own
- my whole family and friends, may you all be blessed
The past ten years, the holidays have spelled loss for my family. Every time we have gotten together recently it seems, has been for a funeral. We have lost three grandmothers, three cousins, two friends, an uncle, my godfather, three dogs and most of these seem to come on or around the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. It has become custom in my family to call around after the first of the year and make sure everyone is still alive.
