Today I am thankful for being able to celebrate Thanksgiving three times when I'm not able to be with my family. I haven't been able to actually celebrate Thanksgiving with my family since 2006. When I was in Philadelphia, I worked a full day the day before Thanksgiving, so I didn't have time to drive 8 hours-or more I didn't want to drive all of Thanksgiving day, only to get somewhere in time to eat, then probably run off to some other place. So I got to celebrate with one of my coworkers.
But even so, I miss my family's traditions. And I'm sad that this year I missed having Thanksgiving in my cousin's new house. But I got to celebrate Thanksgiving three times, each time with awesome people who have become like family. It has been wonderful :-)
We missed you too Jess. We will celebrate together again soon, if not next year, then the next. Love and miss you. :) Dad (Daniel is on a bus, on his way to Louisville - yay!).
