Happy Thanksgiving

This is the time of year when we stop and reflect on all that is good in our lives and we thank God for all the blessings He has given us. Well, I know that I have much to be thankful for... I have a wonderful family and close friends who are there for me in good times and bad. I have a home, a job, and I am able to travel and see the world. I can think of a few more things to be thankful for, but it is also during times like these that we miss our departed the most. I cannot tell you how much I miss my Mami. She was my beautiful Mami and I will love her and miss her every single day of my life. I miss her softness and her smell and her touch. There is so much that I wish she could still share with me, and I always spent the holidays with her. This is really difficult. I also miss my Mom tremendously, and I wish she would have been around just a bit longer to help me along in this journey called life. So here I am, thankful for so many blessings, but also full of sorrow as I find myself approaching the first of many Thanksgivings without my parents around.

Here are just a few photos from my trip to California in October... I had a great time sharing with my family and remembering Mami.







Peace to all!
