The last couple of years we have awakened Thanksgiving Morning in South Florida. It is not your traditional Thanksgiving Day that I have grown up with cold weather, working part of the day, and needing layers of clothes. Today we will be wearing shorts, going to the park and swimming all before our Thanksgiving feast.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and although the scenery has been different in recent years I still love it. As I type I hear the Thanksgiving Macy's day parade. I remember as a kid when my mother got up at the crack of dawn to put the turkey in, we would watch the parade, go to church, come back watch more of the parade and within a few hours people would arrive. We would have a big feast surrounded by family.
Today we will be surrounded by a different family but family nonetheless. The ginormous table will be surrounded by 25+ people most of them we know for a big feast!!
We hope where ever you are this holiday you too are surrounded by familiar faces and family.
We are Thankful for all of our family especially those we can't be near today. We are Thankful for good friends who have always been there for us without blinking an eye. We are Thankful for our children, even when they make us crazy, they are still always the best gifts we were ever given.
As you come together today we hope you can find something you are truly Thankful for and celebrate it. For us it will always be God's impeccable timing to save Madelynn's life because without her our family would never be complete.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
TTFN~
