I would love to spend one more Thanksgiving at my Grandparents..my memories of them are warm and cozy...and I could almost taste the stuffing with raisins and apples.<br />Funny what we remember..I also remember washing dishes for hours:) Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-27505047608880797232012-11-22T20:12:44.343-08:002012-11-22T20:12:44.343-08:00Thank you so much!

I enjoy reading your blogs, too--and you are right: though we haven't met, we've become like family, checking in on what's new with each other, hoping the best for each other. It's the relationships that add that priceless element to life, and for that I'm most grateful!

Intense Guy said what I was thinking...You ...Jacqi,<br />Intense Guy said what I was thinking...You have a blogging family, friends never met but family in a way. Your quest for family has given you a true talent. You write beautifully and tell the storys that keep our attention and I love that. I wish I could write like you. Thank you for always reading my blogs and for your comments. I am thankful for friends that I will meet, perhaps not in this life but in Gods kingdom..A big family! Wow!<br />Happy Thanksgiving, Jacqi!

And while it does hurt to know some are now no longer here to share these celebrations, you are right about the blessing of those many warm memories. I guess when we find ourselves at this pivot point with so many beloved family members gone, it means it's now our opportunity to turn around and be that special someone for those coming along behind us.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-11668905404442494292012-11-22T05:51:15.024-08:002012-11-22T05:51:15.024-08:00Happy thanksging!
