It i...I'm sorry about the loss of your mother. It is never easy to say good-bye to the people who brought us into this world.<br /><br />I am also sorry for Linda's hurt toe. Bad turkey!<br /><br />One Thanksgiving, our first one here in Texas, David and most of the kids went to David's mother's house for Thanksgiving dinner. I have always been an outsider as far as she was concerned, so I stayed home so that maybe there would be less drama. In order that I wouldn't be spending Thanksgiving home alone, Davey (our youngest son, now a Marine) stayed home with me. He was 10 years old at the time. It was a special time of bonding between the two of us. It was also a different menu that day. Instead of turkey and dressing and the usual Thanksgiving Day fare, we had pork chops because our boy loves all things pork. I can't remember what else we had with the pork chops, probably mashed potatoes and gravy, but I do remember that it was then that I knew he would never abandon me. He would leave home some day, sure, but he would always do his best to take care of me.<br /><br />He has been a Marine for 2 1/2 years now and has missed all three Thanksgivings since he went in. I will always treasure that time with him on Thanksgiving 2004.<br /><br />Have a blessed day!<br /><br />Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-34579430199040845742016-11-29T10:25:33.229-08:002016-11-29T10:25:33.229-08:00A Thanksgiving from years past in February no less...A Thanksgiving from years past in February no less...<br /><br />https://remlinggenealogy.blogspot.com/2016/11/saturday-night-challenge-thanksgiving.htmlNancy Ward Remlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760563103332281909noreply@blogger.com
