Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I will gather with some of the family to eat too much, play with the little ones, chat with the adults and wish I had my sweetie with me. I can see him now, standing at the head of the table carving the turkey, then he'd say grace and we'd eat until we couldn't move. That man did love to eat.
Some of the things for which I am thankful for this year
60 years of marriage to a wonderful man
A loving family
God's loving care always
Good health
Friends
Shelter, food and all I need to live each day
Sweet memories
So many blessings that appeared through the fog of grief and sadness.
I hope that each of you have a very blessed Thanksgiving.

60 years with your sweetheart and wonderful memories. Wonderful post. Glad you can be with family.
The ultimate gift you gave your late husband was to be the one who became a widow so he didn't have to be left alone. I have started to realize I need to take better care of my health so I can also give that gift to my Alzheimer's husband and be his ABLE caregiver to the end like you were.
Thankful for inspiring women such as yourself.
Hugs,
Carol

Hello Latane. You are a peach! I have learned so many things from you. You always see the bright side of everything. I am wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving. May God be with you.
Friends,

Hi Latane,I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with the family and Elbert will be there with you because loved ones live on in our memories especially when we get together and remember them with love and thanks for their lives and how they touched us.
You were in my thoughts and prayers on Wednesday and Thursday, especially. You, another dear friend who lost their 24 year old son, and one who lost their infant. My heart goes out to all of you who are beginning anew, with loss. God bless,
