"In all things, give thanks" ~ Thessalonians 5:18 Thank you Mom, then and now I am able to find thankfulness during my greatest weakness. Love never fails... Saw you in my dream last night. Actually you've been in my dream every night this week only I haven't been able to remember a thing...just that you were there. Last night was a little more vivid. We were at a wedding. At first it appeared to be mine, then Shelley's and then Jarrod's. Not sure what all that was about, but you were there, in the background, smiling. The glow, the happiness, the bliss and beauty was unmistakable. I saw you only for a brief minute and I woke up sobbing, gasping and almost in a panic. It was crazy! I tried so hard to just go back to sleep and continue with where I left off, but.... it didn't work. Wanted sooo badly to see you again, but sooo happy for the brief moment of your presence. I've been scrolling through some of our chats we've had over the years since you moved to Heaven. I can't tell you how grateful I am that I came across this site...we've had well over 600 chats and if I could track how many times I've just sat here and said nothing at all that number x 100! Anyhow, I decided to go back to the first Thanksgiving without you. Must admit,I was a little nervous at first, thought I'd find some horrendous message of doom and gloom. But...this is what I wrote to you. THANKFULNESS at my weakest Thanksgiving 2007 HAPPY THANKSGIVING MOM!!!!! I am sure you are having quite the feast up there, way better than any of us can every imagine! We all miss you Mom, today will be hard on all of us, but I know in my heart you are with us all. I know you are smiling down on us as proud as any Mother could ever be...and we are all so very proud of you! We couldn't have picked a better, more loving Mother than you! So today Mom, we will be very thankful for YOU! I love you Mom, I better sign off now, I promised myself I would try to get thru today without crying and here I sit with tears in my eyes! I just miss you so much Mom! ((((HUGS)))) ****KISSSES**** "In all things, give thanks" ~ Thessalonians 5:18
