Our Thanksgiving didn't go quite as we had planned. Kandy's dad, Leland, is now in rehab and in a facility close by. We had the turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy and pear salad, just not all together. Kandy and I ate some of it for lunch and took Leland a plate tonight for his dinner. Beverly, Kandy's mom, ate some after she got home tonight from spending the day with Leland. But, that is life, sometimes. You do what you've got to do. Holidays are no exceptions.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the people that work on holidays to take care of others. Holidays are just not quite the same when you aren't home, or don't have your loved ones around, but there is always something to be thankful for, and I for one find blessings all around.
