Thanksgiving

I have been seeing a lot of people on face book and twitter saying what they are thankful for. I originally thought I now have nothing to be thankful for since Bette has been taken away. Then I read the comments on this blog and see all of the cards and baskets and everything from everyone and I realize I do have some things to be thankful for. Namely Bette's family (mine are all gone) and all of my friends, neighbors, co-workers, and people I do not even know (that I am told are praying for me) that are helping me through this. Without you all I do not know how I would make it. And finally I am thankful for the 30 wonderful years I did share with Bette.

Thanksgiving is a little under 20 minutes away. I want to wish you all a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving. And even after Thanksgiving keep that feeling with you. Let the people that matter to you know it. Don't just assume they do - though they probably do...
