Soon, it shall be the last Thursday of the month, and everyone knows what day that is! But...I wonder

what it means to people now? I hear it referred to as "Turkey Day" a lot. Is that all it means to us now? Is

it just a day to watch football, a parade, and eat a big meal? That's not what it used to be. I am sorry for

ranting, but it is something that has been bothering me.

I do not want to sound bitter, but this year, we will not be doing much of anything. Our Aunt, Uncle, and

cousins, who usually come over to our house and have a smashing time, are excluding us this year.

Maybe because our family is to big? I do not really know...and our Grandparents do not want to come

over either, (They are just on the other side of the wall, it would only take them one step to enter our

home, and enjoy Dinner with us) they would rather eat the Salvation Army Turkey Dinner and have our

father come over and eat with them, leaving us fatherless for Thanksgiving. I am sure that is not truly

their intention, they just want to enjoy their son for Thanksgiving, but my father will be recovering from

surgery that day. You see, tomorrow my father is having Surgery...and I am worried. So please

pray for him!

Well....my Thanksgiving will probably be better than it sounds! At least we HAVE food!! And we will have a
father. One who is in pain, but a father none the less.  And we have a Heavenly Father, who blesses

us everyday. There's a lot to be Thankful for!! So, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
