Thankful

Each holiday that goes by is just a bitter sweet reminder of the thinks my mom is missing. I honestly don't know where the time goes. Thanksgiving was always wonderful. My mom was a great cook, and adored entertaining. I go through the motions, but it is hard to see my cousins with their mother and siblings. There I am, very blessed for the wonderful husband and children I have and feeling completely alone at the same time. How can you be in a room with over 30 people and feel so alone? I am thankful for my friends and family and for all this past year has shown me. What a wild ride this year has been. I am truly looking forward to 2009!
