Today is the day that our country sets aside to celebrate and meditate on the things one is thankful for. As I began to think about all of this years blessings in my life I felt a distinct combination of happy and sad feelings deep within my heart.
So this evening I have compiled a list of my most grateful blessings.
1. My health and the health of my kids
2. 23 years with my husband
3. My faith
4. My home
5. My parents and parents-in-law
6. My siblings
7. The doctors and nurses who took care of Bob
8. My job
9. My friends
10. The Young Widow Bulletin Board and the wonderful friends I have met via YWBB
11. The ability to love and to be loved
12. Honesty and Integrity
13. God's most grateful and richest blessings
As this Thanksgiving closes in, I am thankful for so many things but I am also painfully aware of Bob's absence. The dinner table just asn't the same without Bob there scarfing up everyone's leftovers and making all the wierd little noises that he was so well known for.
It's true that time has a way of making the pain seem more tolerable, but the memories are sometimes the parts that are hardest to deal with.
Time can heal but memories last forever. I love you Honey and you will be FOREVER in my heart. Happy first Thanksgiving in Heaven.
