Sometimes in life we have no real choice as to what happens. Sometimes in life we just have to do the best we can as
we walk this lonely road. Others may not really understand your grief and think you need to do better. I know, Jimmy, you
are happy with the way I have handled things and am doing the best I can to continue this road. No I don't always do
everything right, but, I have learned to enjoy what times I can and know your spirit is here. In so many things I see and
feel, you are here.
So to say a"happy" Thanksgiving? I don't see today where it is all "happy." I miss you as much today as yesterday and
will never stop missing you and the smile you gave me. Laughter? Yes, I do have that so many times as I look in your son's
eyes. I see pain also, but he makes me smile too. I know you are pretty proud of your kids and what they are accomplishing
in life. They will never stop missing you either. Your sister is in the same boat, but your son brings her happiness also.
This family just wants to say, in your new life, we will have a Thanksgiving. With an empty chair, where you sat and
enjoyed your dinner and family around you that loves you so much.
Not a day goes by, baby, that I can say that I don't miss you.
Love you,
Mom
