Thanksgiving 2012

Another year...another Thanksgiving without you.  We made it but it was not easy.  Others move on and do what they use to do. Not us.  Every holiday we miss you like it was the first year and it will always be that way. 
I have a lot to be thankful for and I live each day remembering that too.  I am thankful for Dad.  He has been there for me even when he could not understand my pain.  I am thankful for Autumn,  Through thick and thin, through her own trials, she has been right there beside me every step of the way.  There when I needed her the most.  Friends and family are on my list as well. During times like this we really know who our friends are.  Those that stick around.  Others come and go but there are always those few that we know that we can count on.  One more little person that I am so thankful for...Raegan.  She is the light of my world.  She can always make me laugh and smile when I think I can't.  She reminds me of you so much is it scary sometimes.  I know you are with her always because I see you in her and I feel you as well.  This picture is from Rose Hills for Thanksgiving.  Yes we did better than last year and even better than the year before.  Someone told me it looks like a float in the parade.  See dad's mower too??
This picture we call "Raegan".  All the decorations would stay how we put them except this one.  It is her saying "Don't look at me"!!!
It is so you too!!!

One day we will we together again and have Thanksgiving too!  Until then my sweet boy.
I love you, Mom
