Made it through one Thanksgiving....a lifetime more to go! There were many many tears yesterday! My own and those of my other children and of Katannas dad! But we did it and I am proud of them for it! I am lucky to Have them! So I did find my reason to be thankful even though a whole chunk of me is missing!

Now Christmas is going to be another story.  But I know I'll just have to do the best I can.

If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
