Thanksgiving

Tonight before dinner, Tara lit a candle to remember all those who couldn't be with us. Sarah said some wonderful things to help us remember. It brought tears to my eyes, a lump in my throat.

I REMEMBER you Andrew, for your sweet smile and flashing dark eyes.

I REMEMBER you Andrew, for the way in which you touched others hearts, especially mine.

I REMEMBER you Andrew, for the ways in which you impacted so many other lives.

I REMEMBER you Andrew, for the natural talents you had in sports and music.

I REMEMBER you Andrew, for the excitement when you approached a new experience.

I REMEMBER you Andrew, for the compassion you had for all living things.

I REMEMBER you Andrew.

I'm thankful you have been in my life. Miss your hugs and miss you being with us tonight. But I will remember sweet one.

It's really tough to read that without crying... Our hearts are with you and your family this holiday season.

We will be thinking of you. My mom is gone so I don't understand YOUR pain but can sympathize with you...
