How do you celebrate Thanksgiving when you feel as if you don't have
much at all to be thankful for? How do you celebrate when your son is
missing from your life and you will know you will never get to have
Thanksgiving with him? You don't, is what my wife and I have decided.
It's just too hard, at least this year it is. So we're just going to lay
low and spend time together, just the 2 of us. We'll still have a
turkey (I get a free turkey from work every Thanksgiving) and some of
the usual sides, but that's about it. It's just too hard to celebrate
when you know you should be celebrating with your baby boy.
That doesn't mean I'm not thankful for anything, because there are a
few things. But it just seems hollow when our family is incomplete.
