All week I have been thinking about this. Sorta tryed to put it
outta my head. I guess its still in there. Prolly its one of things that never really leaves. It will in time get better I would think. Some years are worse than others. I keep saying I forgot it was Thanksgiving coming. But i have not forgot. Not at all. The kids and I sorta of ignore it. The last year I had with my parents, Thanksgiving that is. My cousins had made me dinner to take to them. They knew I was over my head with my parents. Taking care of them and 2 children. Also driving 3 hours to get there. Back and forth like a yo yo.... But i was so happy to still have them. Even with all that had gone on in my life I was so grateful. As my moms Dr had given me a time frame on my moms passing. It was so hard as not only was she dieing , but she was drinking herself there faster.My Dad too. My sister too was trying real hard at that...and more... The last Thanksgiving I had with them. My Mom went to sleep in her plate. Boy was that hard to explain to my Kids. As i did not drink. Its the memory thats stuck there. For my Kids and I. After that my aunt passed right before Thanksgiving. A few years later. My best friends daughter got the news she had cancer right before thanksgiving too. The following year.Her husband was killed in Iraq the day before Thanks giving. Some wheres in one of those years The real Muffy ((my dog)) passed on the day before Thanksgiving. And then My sister was baker acted the weekend of Thanksgiving. She thank god called me. Before trying to harm herself. I am very blessed she made that call..... For that there was A big thanks. That for sure is a Thanksgiving................................... Thank god for the phone...as i was able to call the girl across the street from her and stay with my sister till the ambulance came.. This was starting out as A PTSD post and then I reliazed I am grateful for the phone and I have my Sister even thou there are still big isses... So i guess thanksgiving is not about the dinner...or the turkey...or how many family members you have ....its that one grateful moment.. That moment I did not turn her away................and that she knew she could call me no matter what... So now that I wrote this out maybe Thanksgiving is not so bad... thank you for listening...it still makes me sad thou.......that is the truth i do miss them all of them....... muffy |

thanksgiving is one thing we dont celabrate but i can see why you stop and think about all those that you lost around this time, but you started to think of those things you are gratefull for, well this year maybe when you do dinner tell everyone they got to say one thing that they are gratefull for, i would say i am gratefull for knowing you

I understand, muffin. I'm sorry you had to endure all that.
 You have lots of people who care about you now. I'm so glad the sheep can see things clearer now.  It lessens the pain just a tad.

(((nowheretorun))))))))) ((ty)) The funny part is I did not get it till the end of writting it......that i was so very blessed the year I picked up the phone....Right before thanksgiving that year with my sister. My last message on her machine ((because she had a habit of not answering for days)) Was I hope you can let me know if your alive....... Which was not a very nice message for me to leave her. But she had been missing for over a week. Even thou she drives me nutty. And she was not there for my parents or kids. I am so grateful shes alive and is clean. Another mircle. muffy
