After the last two Thanksgivings, a nice quiet one is welcome in our family this year.
The youngest granddaughter and I spent yesterday together baking pies and enjoying a few of her Christmas presents a little early. Okay, a lot early!
She was always Grampy's Girl after all, now I'm the only one here. We both wish it was different, but that's life. I'm thankful she and the family are close by.
I hope you are all doing well now too. It's been a long year, that's for sure! I've found that getting back up on my feet has been a struggle, especially as the anniversary of Wild Bill's passing is only a few days away.
Thanks to those of you who have stuck with me. Thanksgiving was our downfall last year...this year it was my goalpost.
Thanks for dropping by!
I always read ~ but never comment. You are a strong and resilient woman and you have trudged through loss and 2020 with amazing grace. There's nothing you can't do!
ReplyDeleteSending you love and comfort as you establish new traditions in your daily life. It has been a long few years for you with everything that happened. I am so glad you are close to family now. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI am very happy to read a post from you -I have thought of you a lot this year. Stay safe and enjoy your family this season.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see your post. Yes, the first year is the hardest, so many firsts to get through. I hope this coming year will be a little easier for you. It is great that you are near your children.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
I am glad to see you post - I think of you often. Life is surely different and lonely, but it does slowly get a bit better. Anniversaries and birthdays are very hard. I have said it before, and I will say again, let me know if you need to talk. Reach out and we will find a way. So glad you spent the day with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI love your last positive sentence. Goalpost it is!
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to see your posts. Yes, those anniversary dates are hard ones. I try to be extra busy on those days to keep my mind busy. Head up, my friend, and keep that goal in sight. Sending hugs and love.
ReplyDeleteOh, those last two sentences! 🙏❤️👋
ReplyDeleteGlad you had that time with your granddaughter. Those anniversaries are the hardest days. Have a nice rest of the weekend. Keeping good thoughts for you with your Bills day coming up. xoxo Kris
