Just 1 day before Thanksgiving

 And my husband flies out, back to the middle east. Another holiday without my spouse, without the father of my kids.  Im not the kinda girl to let this kind of thing to get me down. I  feel more sad for the children, than myself. Im used to the coming and going of my former Army Soldier, but the kids get confused and bitter. To make matters worse, tomorrow is my grandmothers birthday. She passed right after Easter and we were very close. It's the first major holiday without her and I just miss her so much. Im so thankful this holiday season that she is no longer in pain and fighting for each breath she takes. So instead of being sad, i want to celebrate her life, celebrate how much we have and be thankful for Gods many blessings. I hope your Thanksgiving is full of wonderful warm memories like ours will be.
