THANKS FOR GIVING

Thanksgiving 2022

As I lay battling my greatest demon, insomnia…like so many other nights.

Today.   <deep breath> 

The day of the month and Thanksgiving Day line up exactly as they did six years ago when I felt my Dad’s hand let go of mine and felt him at peace and free of any pain he endured.

I know, he knows Mom and I are doing OK, as his light is with us wherever we go.

His voice reminds me in Hungarian to loosely translated, “keep my head up, be strong and move forward.”

Today.   <exhale>

Mom and I will celebrate Dad with our tradition of morning sunrise at the beach and spend most of the day together.

I want to wish my family and friends celebrating thanksgiving with their loved ones today, a day filled with tradition, reflection, creating memories and treasuring time together with those important to you.

We think of those family and friends celebrating miles away often and wish your feast will fill not only your mouth with a myriad of food and drink but your heart with blessings with a reset of prioritizing what is most important during the holidays, spending time with those who not only mean the world to you, but are your world.

For today, my family and friends, I want to give thanks for giving me a place in your life's journey.
