I woke up on Thanksgiving day a little early to get the turkey going and--
asleep on the couch was my son Jack.
A flood of emotions came over me.
It was less than a year ago - when he came home from Brasil.
He has been so sick & slowly getting better.
Blessed- I felt & I FEEL blessed.
Blessed that he felt it was important enough to keep working while he was so very sick- he did keep working (I would have quit)- blessed that he is getting better. Happy- happy he is home. Well, in the same state anyway. He is rarely here but he is happy & doing well in school & working & having the time of his life at BYU- frankly I wouldn't have it any other way.
To be honest - I haven't always felt this way.
(yes I was a little angry that he got sick, like that did any good?)
It's good to be on this side of this whole situation.
anyhow
THANKSGIVING WAS WONDERFUL

Probably my favorite part of Thanksgiving this year -- well one of many-- was this mural Ethan drew for me. How fun & wonderful is this!?
Thanksgiving is becoming one of my favorite days of the whole year!
I hope yours was good too.
