I love this time of year. I love spending time with my family! I love the good food! i love reminiscing of old times! And this year I have so much to be thankful for!
After 5 years together, I feel like the wind is finally blowing in the same direction as Joey and I. We've hit roadblocks along the way. We have had to back track. but one thing i am super proud of is the fact that in 5 years, we have never once broken up. I know joey is my soulmate and I can't wait to see what the journey of life throws our way in the future because I know we can tackle it together! :) This year I am so thankful for the love of my life!
Looking back over this year and thinking about the natural disasters and the wars that have happened between countries, etc., I am very much blessed to be safe with a roof over my head and be united with family! Its awful to imagine what so many are currently going through (in the NE for example) as they are trying to rebuild their lives and grieve for loved ones lost in the hurricane. I can't imagine not having any family around the holidays and my heart breaks for those whom are alone or homeless. Be thankful for what you have, no matter how big or small, because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
Although things have been going very well for me lately, Thursday November 22, 2012 (Thanksgiving Day) is actually kind of a hard day to be thankful for me. November 22 would be Lauren Witty's 27th birthday. Lauren died in May of 2009, but it seems like yesterday. It's hard to imagine that another year has gone by without Witty. How can you be thankful on a day like this when your best friend is not here and in your eyes she should be. This day is all about giving thanks, but it's hard to let go of the anger that still surfaces occasionally. However, i know my life was blessed by being able to know her. Witty was a positive influence on anyone and everyone she met. She was one of the most amazing people, one of those "special ones" that don't come around that often. So this year, while the day may be hard, I will try to be more thankful for having known her than more angry that she is gone so soon.
I Love you, Lauren Witty! I'll miss you every day until the day we meet again.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
"When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
In my dreams
I'll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you'll be
Ans everywhere I am
There you'll be.. "
