Today is the most thankful day in America. Today all over the country there will be tellings and re-enactments of the first thanksgiving, the pilgrims and the indians and the Mayflower crossing. There will be miriads of football games those watched and those played in the yard with family and friends. There will be marching bands and Underdog balloons and at the end- Santa and his reindeer will appear. Then in the evening lights will be lit and the marathon shopping/commercials will commence.
But for me, today I get to spend with my children. And I get to make Cherry Cheese Pie for Donovan and Pumpkin Pie for Trevor. I don't know when I will be able to do that on a Thanksgiving for them again. Today I am thankful that my sons are home and safe.
(On a side note, they got an identification tattoo yesterday. I am trying hard to not think about the reason for this tattoo- name, ss#, gas mask size- everything that is on their dogtags. This tattoo is put on your torso almost under your left armpit. And I hate the reason that they need one.)
Indeed.
