From my house to yours, I wish your family a happy, healthy stuffed to the gills turkey day!  We spent ours quietly at home, #1 and I spent the morning cooking while watching the Macy's parade.  I had a surprise phone call from #2 this morning - when I saw the school's name on the caller ID, I froze thinking something was wrong, but when I answered, there was his wonderful voice saying "Happy Thanksgiving mom!"  I made it through the phone call, but burst into tears as soon as I hung up.  Although he has been gone 6 months, this is the first holiday we have ever been apart.  I am thankful for his progress and the help the program is giving to him, but as a mother, my heart aches to have him home here with me.  As my darling mother pointed out when I called her crying "suck it up, he's old enough that soon he will be out on his own and may not even call let alone come home at Thanksgiving"  Gee mom, thanks for the support.
