Count Your Blessings
OK, I am still playing and came across these photos to cheer up oldest daughter who discovered that really pissed off cats might piss on things while looking you in the eye. Funny how they go from sweet little balls of fluff to huge attitudes that cough up hairballs. I decided to post these to make her feel better. These are of my other daughter Jessica who graced our lives for 9 1/2 years. I will miss her greatly tomorrow but maybe not for reasons that are obvious. It seems that every Thanksgiving she would be sick and I would have to stay home from the family dinner. Since it was held just up the hill from me someone, usually my good friend, would dutifully bring me down a heaping plate of food and I would sit and enjoy with her and Jess while avoiding the famdamly up the hill. Now I am rather stuck with attending and playing nice. I am so very thankful for Jess and the memories and laughs and these photos make her so near.
Have a very blessed Thanksgiving. Remember that we live in the land of the free and the brave and that this freedom comes at a great cost. If you are sitting at a table tomorrow feasting on the good life be thankful that there is a soldier oversees doing his or her damnedest to maintain that freedom not just for his family but for yours also.
