A Thanksgiving Poem
Dear Father who art in Heaven...
Please join our family on this Thanksgiving day
And bless each one as we sit down to pray
As we remember those who have joined You above
So dearly missed and deeply loved.
Please provide us strength on this Thanksgiving day
Bless us with memories of those faraway...
Please grant patience to family and friends as we grieve
And help us reach out to others who are bereaved.
We give thanks to You on this Thanksgiving day....
For Your presence in our lives each and everyday.
For Your comfort, guidance, and never ending love...
And for taking care of our loved ones...in Heaven above.
As we light this candle on this Thanksgiving day...
And it glows in memory of those in Heaven today....
May their lights always shine down on us and give us light...
And may we feel their presence along with Yours tonight.
May the peace and tranquility of this Thanksgiving day
Be an everlasting light within each of us along the way...
Lets bow our heads and give our Thanks to God above..
For our blessings, whether on earth or in Heaven above...
Amen

Tami, just want you to know that you will be on my mind and in my heart and thoughts this Thanksgiving day. I know it will be so very hard on you being the first one without Joey. I know my first Thanksgiving and Christmas, I cried all day long. I still cry but not as long. You WILL get through it Tami, we all do. I only hope that you can somehow find a way to enjoy your family this holiday. I know it will be hard. I still don't like going to family functions but, I go. In my heart I know that my sons are right there with me.
I sure wish we lived closer to each other. I would love to sit down and visit with you. I don't know about you but, I don't know of anyone close that has been through what we've been through. Only the people on this site. My family tries to be supportive but, they don't really understand. You do.
Try to have a nice Thanksgiving sweetie. I wish I could give you a big hug too.
Love and hugs to you my dear friend..
Michelle
