Dear Liz,

The entire morning was taken up by cooking my very first Thanksgiving dinner ever!  There was really no time to mourn or grieve.

I saw the flowers I have for you...as well as the pictures...but I focused on making the dinner, and having a special Thanksgiving with my husband and my kids.

Afterward I took one of the Thanksgiving pictures I made and took it and my Kindle to my room.  I read some on my Kindle...I touched the picture...I listened to my MP3 player...and I took a short nap.

Then I went through all 3 manilla envelopes that I put anything in about you, or reminds me of you.  And looked at all my printed pictures that I have of you.

Most of the rest of the day was spent with my kids.  And then I went to bed early.  I woke up again now, at about 11:00 at night...but will probably go back to bed soon.

So all in all it didn't go too bad.  But I do so wish that you were here once again this year.  :(

much love,

your big sister,

Cricket
