Thursday, November 22, 2012Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2008, our last Thanksgiving with Mattie. Mattie's school counselor gave him this cute turkey hat. Mattie thought the hat was funny and quickly put it on his head. I can't think of a more adorable turkey.

We want to wish our readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. Today, Peter and I are driving to New York to spend Thanksgiving with my friend Karen and her mom. Karen's mom lives in Scarsdale, where I spent the first decade of my life before moving to California. Mattie visited Boston many times and he got to see several of the places that were important to Peter as he was growing up. Yet Mattie never went to New York, he never saw where I grew up, the church Peter and I got married in, where I used to live, where we got married, and so forth. These are aspects of one's history that typically you like to share with your child. For us it wasn't meant to be.
I am posting today's entry early and will write from New York on Friday evening. In the mean time, it is my hope that our readers have a meaningful and peaceful Thanksgiving. I do realize that holidays can be challenging times for so many of us, for many different reasons. I wholeheartedly acknowledge this and want you to know that we are thankful to all our readers who remain committed to our journey. For you we are grateful!
