Thanksgiving is tomorrow, as I type this at 12:45 Wednesday morning. We will enjoy turkey, family, turkey, football, turkey, mucking out horse stalls (another story), turkey and let's see, turkey. We will celebrate with our blogging daughter, Rachel, best son-in-law, Alex and the best grandson we have, Aidan. We'll also be blessed with the Pa and Ma, yep, my dad, her mom, the cutest couple around, over 70 that is. We will miss the other side of our family, our wonderful boy, Ryan, and the best daughter-in-law Jessica, as they are far away enjoying a Thanksgiving in Laie, Oahu. We hear from Ryan that Jess will be working that day at Turtle Bay. Who will they share their first Thanksgiving Day with, the Martz Family, the Tongans, their neighbors who they have grown to love so much, or just a quiet family dinner with Ry, Jess and Austin, Jessica's #1 brother who is out there with them? We will miss them terribly but will be seeing them in just three short weeks for Ryan's graduation. Yippeee!! We'll also have all of Ronda's family (my one and only sister) with Tommy and their five marvelous kids. I love you Sis. That will be fun and I can't wait. Someone better hold Aidan now because he won't be put down for four days.
The person I will miss the most is my Mom, always the best family hostess around. And Connie will miss her Dad, but both families are represented in the Pa and Ma (yep, my Pa, her Ma, and the cutest couple around).
On that day I will be grateful for my wife, my eternal companion and an angel assigned to Grumpy (that's me) here on Earth. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving her that assignment, I don't know what I did right up there, but it must have been pretty special to get her. I will also be grateful for my eternal family, Rach, Alex, Aidan, Ryan and Jessica and the kids both couples will yet have. The best place on Earth is a family hug in the Celestial Room. Thanks kids for making that possible. My eternities will never be happy without any of you so family hug in Heaven when we all get there a long, long time from now.
Thank you Heavenly Father and our elder Brother, Jesus, for blessing me and making that possible. For all this, I give Thanksgiving.
