What does Thanksgiving mean?
Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks to all.
Yes, a day of food and drink,
but is one of giving praise to whatever and whomever
you think deserves or need praise.
A time of family gatherings with all
it's ups' and downs'.
There will always be disappointments, as
the turkey will be dry,
the pies didn't turn out as you wanted,
maybe someone will say something out of turn,
but just remember there is always one that you can turn too
in times like these, and
just take a breath and just
Give thanks for all.

Our Song
Evening has given way to night. Gently, I settle next to you on the comfortable, old love seat and reach for your hand. You snatch it away, again. It cuts me to the quick, but I hide the pain, understanding that the reaction is but part of your demented state. Since the accident, your presence here in our cozy home has been clouded by a haze I can't see. Nevertheless, I feel the frigidity of your expressions and it serves as an excruciating reminder of the immeasurable distance between us.
