Thanksgiving…

I have much to be thankful for this year. I have family, friends, and love. I have the best kids.
It’s weird though. It’s my first Thanksgiving without my mom. I feel bereft today. It’s the first time I’m not scurrying around cooking or getting ready to go help cook. I want to call my mom. But I know she won’t answer the phone.
I knew today was going to be hard. It’s also the first Thanksgiving without my father-in-law. I miss them both so much.
Especially my mom. She and I talked on the phone every day. She was my best friend. I could tell her anything. And she never judged me. A large piece of my heart is missing today.
I know I won’t hear from the rest of my family. They have cut me loose without a thought. My uncle will call. You know from previous posts that he’s my hero. But my siblings, step father, and cousin won’t bother. My young niece will call.
But without my mom, I feel like I have no family. I’m adrift without her to anchor me.
I love you mom. I love you dad. I miss you both and hope you are happy and healthy where ever you are.
