First snow

As I sit here watching snowflakes falling, listening to music I notice that the tree across the street has finally lost all of its leaves. The wind is causing the snowflakes to dance around and it almost seems like they are dancing to the music i am listening to.

This time of year will always be difficult. I was optimistic this time around, and I really thought, somehow, that I would be OK. I often feel like chunks of time are missing from my days. I am not sure if I am tuning out or if my mind is playing tricks on me. I get swept away in the tender memory of you, and I grab a hold as hard as I can and stay there in that memory until it fades.

I would give anything just to hold you, to kiss you, to feel your warmth. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, another holiday where we gather as a family and you are not here with us. There will be laughter and bittersweet moments.

I am thinking about the both of you. I never stop thinking of you both.

I am thankful for you...
