Havplenty, so sorry to hear she lost her battle, but I know from experience it's bitter sweet. My sister n law lost her battle to breast cancer 9 years ago and no matter how much we want them to stay we also want them to be without pain and suffering. After I lost my mom in 96, I've come to realize that life as I get older is more about what we did than what we have. I also know I'm not getting any younger and one day I too will pass. As my Aunt told me, whom lost two of her son's very young, you never forget, but you learn to accept.
I hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I myself had a restful thanksgiving. After 4 days with the grandson's and hardly no sleep, I slept most of the day. Will be sending out my Dec BD's this week, so sorry if I'm late a few days. It's gonna be a busy month, which I know will zip by like lightning.
