Just had a long phone call with my girl and her family. I cannot be there due to my health, and my girl cannot live here because there is no room.
It is one of the few times each year that I get to talk to her entire family, and watch them eat lots of thanksgiving goodness.
It never fails to remind me that no matter how bad things get for me, there are a bunch of folks that genuinely care for me. Words cannot express how wonderful that is to realize and experience.
I hope and pray that everyone I know here can find similar solace in wherever they are in life, and remember that on a very fundamental level they are loved, and that people... REAL people, genuinely care for your well-being and want to celebrate life with you.
I think some people just need to hear that from time to time, myself being among them some years.
Happy thanksgiving, my friends. This is what it's all about.
