You don't always have to go through the bad to get to the good, but until you have known the bad, you won't fully understand the good.  The main thing is to be courageous and open to the full spectrum of life.... my horoscope today.  I'm not sure that this is something I agree with... certainly not how I would have chosen to go through life but unfortunately there are many things we don't get to make a choice on.

Thanksgiving, all holidays really, aren't the same without you.  Not too sure there will ever be one that feels "whole" again... that something isn't missing.

Missing you each and every day.

Love you more,
Mom
