"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." - John F Kennedy
I wanted to take a moment today and say Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
I had the pleasure of a great gym workout with a friend earlier, and as I am singing and dancing around my kitchen making side dishes I feel so blessed! It is overwhelming! However, as my precious son licked a cool whip-sugar-cream cheese bomb from spoons ... I found myself tearing up even through the incredible joy my heart feels. There will forever be a void in the happiest moments of my life. My dad loved thanksgiving, food, grand kids and family. I want to take a moment for my friends and anyone in the same boat as myself today ~ missing someone you would give anything to hug today or talk to. My tears are for the sadness I feel knowing my son will never know how amazing my father was or how big his love reached. But they are also tears of joy that not a day goes by that he doesn't guide a thought I have, or I hear him telling me to love them anyways, to forgive, to be kinder, and to be patient with Lincoln -- for that alone I choose to live each day like there is no tomorrow and to count my blessings because they are truly endless.
Today my biggest wish for you is to have memories filled with family, friends, love, fun, food and laughter! For these are the moments we should live for!
