So the big Turkey Day is finally here. This time of year once again is bitter-sweet. I love spending time with my family....but I immediately go back to my Dad. It'll be 4 years on the 28th. Unreal. I sadly find myself thinking of my Dad less as time goes on. It's not that I want to forget....it's just that life here with my own family has taken over. I don't want to forget anything about my Dad or how much he meant and still means to me. As I think of him, my thoughts go directly to University Hospital and the day everything happened. It feels as if it were yesterday....but yet soo long ago in the same sense. As these past years have flown by....I regret not being able to really say what I should have said at his funeral....some day I will be able to write it all down without turning into a cry baby. I will ALWAYS be grateful for my Dad.
Onto a brighter note...this Turkey Day...I am grateful for my husband...who works very hard to provide for our family, who could LIVE out in the woods if I let him and who continues to love me no matter what I do or how much money I spend ;)...I'm grateful for my kiddos...Tristan...my "too-smart-for-your-own-good" son....Easton...my "sneaky, cuddly" son....and Brinley...my "spoiled-little-princess" daughter.
I'm grateful for my Mom. I don't know how I would manage without her. I'm glad that we are so close and that my kiddos keep her BUSY!
I'm also so grateful for all of my family and friends. Without them, life wouldn't be the same that's for sure!!! For all of my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc....I hope you know how important you all are to me and how much I love you...even though this crazy life keeps us in our own little worlds...<3
