If you know anything about me you have to know that my kids are the LOVES OF MY LIFE!! Soon we will all be together!! This happens only a few times a year due to all of our schedules but mainly Josh's schedule so when we know we will be together we all get excited!! The text messages begin the day of...the calls start...Sarah checks in to see if I've heard if Josh is on the road yet..once I know he is, then we text ...where is he? have you heard anything else? oh they are getting close!! It goes back and forth all day. When they finally get in I call Sarah and let her know they are home and safe.
I am not a morning person at all but the last few mornings I've been up by 7:30 cleaning and making the treats Josh loves to have on hand when he gets home for the holidays...
I have to say this Thanksgiving has to be very special because we won't all be together for Christmas this year. Also, this weekend there must be a certain sensitivity because Josh and Sarah lost their grand daddy a year ago this week. I will bear that in mind as we are all together.
Soon after Christmas I will be going to Josh's home to stay until he deploys. I want as much time with him as I can get before he leaves. I want to be there for Steph and Savannah too. I love all of them so very much and this is going to be a tough time for Savannah I imagine. She's a child and may have some rough days while her daddy is gone. I pray every day for her and for Steph that they are at peace and never feel alone. As for Josh, I pray that he has a LONG, Healthy, Happy life. I can use prayer myself because every time he deploys I tend to be more emotional. I live for his calls letting me know he's ok.
Ah well..we will focus on being together and having a sweet time this week........Happy Thanksgiving! We have much to be thankful for!!
