Thanksgiving 2018

It was a quiet Thanksgiving again this year.   It was also the first year anniversary of my dad's passing.   He died 2 days before Thanksgiving.  Last year we had a very small turkey dinner in the barn apartment with Mom, Paul, Sandy and the 4 of us.  This year Thanksgiving was actually on the day he passed.  We spent the holiday at Anna's mom's - a gathering of co-housing folks.  I came home early with my mom and promptly took a nap.  She did too.  The boys and Anna came home a little later and we finished watching a series on Netflix, called Atypical.  That was the best part of the day to me...being with just Anna and the boys.  It's easy to not see all that you have when you focus on what you are missing.  I am missing my dad and I have a beautiful family right here, right now.
