On this day many are with their family and friends and I am with my only family today as well, my husband. We are not cooking we are not laughing and having a good time we are just here. My daughter would have been here with us eating watching movies and begging to put up the Christmas tree today. Boy do I miss that so much!
With her gone the house is very empty and quiet we are left with an ugly void today. I have never had a Thanksgiving with out her for 29 years and I will never celebrate another one again. Here is a picture from Thanksgiving 2 years ago of the three of us before she put the tree up.
When I count my blessings, You faithful blog followers who never fail to leave a comment are one of the blessings that I count. So just know I am thinking of you all today. I love you all and I hope your day is surrounded by those that you love. Hold On to them and enjoy your time with them, keep them close.
Thank you Mary
ReplyDeleteMary, this post tells you why we stop in to see your reviews everyday. Your big caring heart, all you have going on and you took the time to post this for us. I love you (((Hugs))) and lots of prayers.
ReplyDeleteI hate that you have no family left. I hate you are not cooking today and spending the day with Linda. I hate all the hurt you are feeling and the loneliness. But I am thankful that you have Will Jr. there to lean on. This day will be over before you know it. Just read and rest today. I count you as one of my biggest blessings Mary You have a heart like no one I know always giving and thinking of others. I will support you as long as you have this blog. I love you girlfriend. I wish I was with you today. I need to move closer to you and Will Jr.
ReplyDeleteMy sweet sister, I wish we could be spending Thanksgiving together. I love it when we can get together and spend a whole day just talking and hanging out, and reminiscing about my mom and your Linda. You were an amazing mother and I know Linda knew it. She is with you today, and always, even if in just the little things.
ReplyDeleteI miss Linda today and everyday too, but I know it's nothing like what you are feeling.
I am just a phone call away if you need me. I love you to the moon and back, always and forever!
Oh what a sweet, kind loving post. My heart aches for you and AJ today. It will never get better but sister you are a blessing to so many people. I can't begin to tell you how you have touched my heart. I will be praying and thinking of you all day. Thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteAfter all you have been thru you are telling us we are a blessing to you. That just goes to show us what you think of us and why you do what you do. I love your cd reviews and movie reviews and your book reviews always let me know what books to buy and read. Where ever Linda is I hope she is smiling seeing that you are trying to go on each day. I know that you miss her and people say it will get easier each year I'm not going to lie to you Mary You had Linda 29 years you were with her everyday you shared your life and were close to her. It will never get easier. But You grieve the way you need to and for as long as you need to. I'm so happy that you are back blogging again. Books will take you places you could never go and the escape from reality even if just for a few hours is what you need then you read darling. I love you with my whole heart. I wish I was there with you and Will Jr today, I take that back I wish I was there with you all everyday.
ReplyDeleteI would first like to say thank you to everyone for thier support for Mary. This is one of the hardest days when have had to endure since our daughter's passing. Days like today use to be days of happiness but now it just seems to open our wound. Thanksgiving was one of Linda's favorite holidays. Any excuse to spend time with family was a good day to her. Please spend this day holding your family close. Put away your differences and just enjoy thier company. Our lives are truly vapors in the wind and once a loved one is gone its to late to get missed time.
ReplyDeleteMary, I Come to this blog every day, but since little Kat Jr. Passed away I have not left a comment. Every morning she would message me your new link and say go over and leave a comment for mom on her new post, Since the day she left us I have not done it. I have read the blog everyday without missing one day but I just can't comment. Today I wanted you to know that you are our blessing and that husband of yours my best friend Bee Man is your rock and he loves you so much. You continue you living your new normal and remember this family loves you Renee' say she has never meet another human as kind and loving as you.
ReplyDeleteHoney, you are the blessing, What would we do without you and your reviews. You hold to the fact that you make a difference everyday. Love you
ReplyDeleteMay you have a blessed day! Happy Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteMary, you have been in my thoughts and prayers many, many times over the months. You are loved, you are thought of, you are not forgotten. Thank you for the great job you do, it is very appreciated. Even though this Thanksgiving is very, very different, I hope you and your husband can enjoy the day.
ReplyDeleteMary, I am praying that you get through this day. I am so sorry this is the path that you and your husband must walk. The path of grief and heartbreak that only those who have lost a child can understand. I have not experienced the kind of heartache you have, but I can only trust that God will be with you and hold you close. My heart hurts for you, and I am sending love and prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteMary, I can't imagine the pain of loss & grief you and your husband are feeling. I can understand where you wouldn't have the heart to celebrate. I may not comment every time but I do read each and every post. I'm so sorry feels much too little to say, may the God of peace and comfort surround you in your deepest valley. I pray someday you can see the light again :-)

ReplyDeleteWould love to read this book, I count my blessings every day
ReplyDeleteNellie, Not real sure what book you are wanting to read. Did you by chance read this post? It was not about a book!
