Will be our second Thanksgiving without Becky..and yes, this one already feels a little 'lighter' than last year. Time does lessen the grief, as it well should. But, there is still that frozen moment of just what will tomorrow be like with this incredible change in our lives? As I have mentioned, Abbey and I seem to talk of past sweet moments with more frequency now. It has taken time to speak of these moments..and that's OK..just what it is. So comforting to see Abbey making a special Thanksgiving pie, a great 'postcard' to reflect upon in future years. She likes to bake holiday-time goodies. Christmas will see some delicious delights.
I reflect upon Thanksgiving memories, and indeed give thanks for these warm reflections. Becky could certainly make some incredible dishes..she loved home entertaining..family gatherings.
I do hope you have a fulfilling and thankful Thanksgiving. WE truly have to count our blessings...we have to 'give thanks in ALL things'..not always easy to do, but can be done. God Bless you..God Bless America..
Celebrate Life..enjoy family and friends..
Bill and Abbey

Dear Bill,
ReplyDeleteThis was also another one of your great posts.
I have been missing my dear mom gone 11 years ! Singing from the Phantom of the Opera"Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" says so much. But we will all be together again. This world is not our home.
