THANKSGIVING???

Well the day has come and gone. We did absolutely nothing. I was sick Wed. which kept me in bed all day and night. Forgot to take the turkey out of the deep freeze, Bryan always did that. We did give thanks for each other, but that was about all we could come up with. We lost Grandmother which was the last link to hold the main family together, she died in Jan. of this year. Then we lost Bryan July 23rd of this year. He was the rock of my family.

Then we lost Ty, a family cat that we had for about 12 years. Then we lost Mandy Lynn on the 22nd of this month. Bryan got her for me in 1996 as a birthday present. She was the most beautiful cat we have ever seen, she was a solid white angora. She was the cat we had always dreamed of having as part of our family. Bryan and I often talked about how hard it was going to be when she passed, as she was getting old for an animal. See she was the first FAMILY pet our kids ever remember having.

Bryan is supposed to be here to help us with her passing, but he's not. It is so hard to find much of anything to be thankful for. I still have to remember that I have wonderful children and grandchildren to be thankful for. Bryan please help me to take one day, one breath, one second at a time. We all love you and miss you so much that it hurts
