Cloudy Monday reflection.

Today is Monday and it is cloudy and cooold outside. Wayne and I went down to Grandmas today and got up her leaves and put away all her outdoor stuff for the winter. These days make me think of Papaw, because when he was alive, he did all of these things himself. He passed away in 2005 in December. He is still greatly missed especially around the holidays. He was so funny and the life of any get together. He would joke and laugh with the grandkids. He was always firing grandma when they worked together. She was never worried about getting fired because she knew he would always take her to work with him the very next day, only to fire her again. We had so much fun being together with them. Holidays are family times, a time for making lasting memories. A time to be thankful for all the time God has given us to be together .
We are getting together this Thanksgiving up at my brother and sister in laws house. There will be those that are missing because of living a distance away, they will be missed. There will be those who will be missing by choice, they will also be missed. Happy Thanksgiving.

Your post made me smile and made me a little sad too. I miss Papa so much especially when the family gets together. I miss Jason, Jess and the kids a ton too. As for the people who are missing by choice...well, they're only hurting themselves. :(
