I made it through the day without totally breaking down and crying. I did have tears in my eyes the night before knowing it was Casey's third Thanksgiving not with us. It was not easy stopping the tears, but I didn't want to have to explain to Bryce why I was crying making deviled eggs so I bit the tears back.
It was a very quiet Thanksgiving meal. Just D, Bryce, my friend Harry and myself. Abby and Ally both had to work. I silently questioned if all holidays are going to be like this once they go to college. I would hope they would come home from college for Holidays but one just never knows.
Today is our family Thanksgiving with the girls dad and his family. D's family , and the kids. My extended family couldn't make it..well the ones I invited anyway. Oh well. Maybe next year... I really wish Heaven had day passes for those who have passed on. I would love to have Casey home if only for a few days a year. Id like to have Grandpa Terry carving the ham. Some of grandpa Norbert's meat balls. Some of Grandma Shirley's Kahlua drinks , and aunt Nancy's chocolate bread pudding , and Uncle Kent's off color humor.
