Thank you M.. How sweet and I appreciate the comments on the other responses as well.

We are ok except my daughter is sick. So we are not going to dinner with her bf's family because she's running a fever. She is on meds now and hopefully will be ok for exams next week.

I'm planning to stop by a local restaurant on my way to her condo and pick up traditional Thanksgiving food.

I made her favorite soup, took it to her yesterday and she's almost out so I'm taking ingredients and will make a new batch for her while at her place.

I'm in withdrawal from not cooking all day today so making soup will help me too!

I think under the circumstances we are doing ok. At times I feel as though everything is falling apart but that is normal according to my grief support group. We are having to adjust to a new normal for us which is a painful process. My husband was our rock and he took care of us well. We miss him dearly.

I'm still not sleeping well and can't eat, I have to force food and same for daughter. I know our immune systems are down right now.

I truly appreciate the support I have received from many of you on this site. It means a lot to me.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours :) and everyone else!
Enjoying the day with family here
TF Plano/Allen - best wishes to you and your family this Thanksgiving also

Happy Thanksgiving to you too. We are having a small and quiet day - I got most of the cooking done yesterday and have only a few things to do today. We'll watch some football, and we always watch the dog show, enjoying John O'Hurley (Mr. Peterman from "Seinfeld") and his amusing commentary. Then we try to keep our dog from climbing into the TV to get to the other dogs - LOL. It's nice weather in New England and it should be around 60 degrees tomorrow - unseasonable for sure!

We've also had a death in the family and the funeral is tomorrow - so I know how tough this day is for our cousins who lost their father. Thinking of TF as well - must be so hard.

Hope you have a great day!

I was off the web yesterday due to a water issue in the home. It is dry now and we can mover items back after a good rug shampoo. Not how I planned my morning. Anyway.

We had dinner with extended family and I made a large pot of green beans which everyone loves (pot was almost empty) and took them to the diner. A good time was had and the food was great. Now I have to waddle out and get in the H3. Weather coming in and ice is predicted with freezing rain until Saturday.

TF is always on my mind with a few other people I know. She kind of has a special spot.

I trust that the rest of the members had a wonderful day with friends, family and associates.

My sewing machine is calling me to finish projects for the holidays and the shop.

I just finished cooking and hosting for the day... Fun, but tiring (and I didn't even make a turkey or lots of casseroles!). We had a nice visit with a friend and a nice meal together. Sending Thanksgiving greetings to all for the evening and lots of good thoughts to those folks who are missing someone important (TF, Diane B, and anyone else).

Happy Thanksgivng to you also!

We are missing relatives this year :-(, but I think my husband and I did a good job keeping the kids busy so it wasn't so lonely :-).

TF, so glad you are taking care of yourself.
And I used to have to sleep with the tv on when I was grieving.
Thinking of you and your daughter and sending you prayers.

Same to you all as well!
Can't type much right now - it's turkey time!

What a wonderful message of support and gratitude. Love the mamas on this site!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Blessings to all the Mamas!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, M.!

Very sweet for you to mention TF. TF, thinking of you too, sweetie.

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your day with family, friends, and all of those close to you.

sorry! Wasn't on yesterday for long and didn't see this!

We drove to Quantico had dinner with my girlfriend and her 2 kids. It was a great day!

Said a prayer for TF and her daughter!
