Only a few more days until we carve the bird. The smells of food will permeate the house. I'll get stuffed beyond belief and still find room for a piece of pie. Oh I love Thanksgiving day!
I guess this year we start the reluctant process of trying to determine what "future" holidays will be like for our family. What will we do when the girls have other commitments around the holiday? What about their husbands? What about where we have it? Ugh, it was all so simple when they were younger.
I won't make this a long post, because I am on the train and I always feel like people are looking over my shoulder. But I want you to know something and be assured for the rest of your life of something.
It isn't the meal that they will come back for every year. Although you are a turkey day genius.
It isn't the decorations around the house that will make them spend the day at home. Although they always look perfect.
It isn't the table-scape (insert Sandra Lee reference) and how amazing it looks that will have them at the table. Although it gets better every year.
They will make being with us on the holidays a priority because they want to be with you. They want to be with the one person who will always make sure that everything is just as they need it to be for them. The one person who thinks of them before she thinks of herself.
They'll come back for you my love. Every time. Every year. Because they love you more than they can ever imagine. Trust me on that.
Happy Thanksgiving.
You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
