Thanksgiving each year gives me pause. I remember and I am truly thankful.
Not because that is what you are SUPPOSED to do, rather because it is the anniversary of a very traumatic event.
Don't get me wrong. This is not a depressing time for me. Or a depressing story. What my boys and I went through was horrible, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, not even my ex-husband, but my life changed dramatically because of what happened, and those changes are things I am so thankful for and would never want to give up.
Let me take you back to Thanksgiving 2007
