I love Thanksgiving - but today I find myself being contemplative about life. Exactly 2 years and two months ago Amy died. My mother always did Thanksgiving, but in the last years of her life I was never there - we had a separate day of eating on the weekend after - but if I knew time was limited would I have made the same choices? Would I have escaped to the Cape to spend Turkey Day with Rob and his family - Robs not going anywhere - and she was. This makes me think of so many other times I chose not to go home...Even when I lived there - I chose to stay out late - to work extra shifts. Shouldn't I have been with her, spending as much time together as possible?
I can't go back and change anything - but if I could I would.
"when someone said count your blessing now - before they're long gone, I guess i just didn't know how, I was all wrong, they knew better, still you said forever, and ever - who knew..."
I LOVE YOU PRINCESS!
