That Thanksgiving Day

In family, marriage, relationships on November 27, 2009 at 10:14 pm

As we are getting ready to go celebrate thanksgiving with my extended family today, all I could think was how amazing it was. It was quite something that my husband and I were here, together, helping each other prepare the kids in their little outfits and everything. I mean wow. I didn’t realize until this moment that I was quite prepared to have been doing this alone. I had expected it to be different by now, and even coping with a first holiday as a separated family. Then I grew in awareness of how utterly thankful I was. So thankful to be sharing this time together,thankful we were getting along so beautifully, and learning to enjoy life again. I couldn’t express it, I just soaked in every second and cherished it. I am grateful to experience my husband healthier and happier, peaceful and loving. I’m joyful beyond words for my children to have both their parents together today, loving each other,and them, as they deserve.
We never know what life will be tomorrow, and that’s ok. I am so happy to have this day.
