What does ‘Thanksgiving’ mean to you? Do you have a favorite memory of Thanksgiving? How will your family celebrate the holiday?
Don’t be shy. I know y’all are out there reading. I see the stats. Talk to us.
I’m thankful for so much. Thankful for the family’s health….Tara had a trip to the ER this year, in an ambulance, Trevor got his diagnosis for Asperger’s Syndrome, Tyler grew another couple inches, my mother in law had cancer surgery and subsequent treatments, Terry had a good work year….I’m thrilled to be in a job I like, and excited to see what God’s doing at 235 Indian Lake Rd. God just keeps pouring out blessings on the Smith’s.
As for memories, my Thanksgiving memories involve long car trips or plane trips. When I was a kid, we usually went to San Antonio, Texas for Thanksgiving every year. My father was from there and all of his large family was there (most of them still are). We had lots of our Thanksgiving meals at my grandparents’ Senior Citizen’s complex.
My memories of this day here are so vivid. My cousin Doug brought some Vietnamese friends with him and my sister (who was then about 7) was scared to death she was going to have hug and kiss them cause the Collie Family was one kissing bunch. That’s me there with my beautiful mother and my dear Grandma & Pop Collie. They’re both long gone, Pop in 1979 and Grandma in 1984. My dad’s been gone since 1992. Sometimes I wish there were such a thing as a time machine so I could back to this Thanksgiving of 1973 for about 5 minutes.
Come on now….share some thoughts with us.
