I was anxious about the day-our first Thanksgiving without Dad. It was a lovely day. I enjoyed catching up with my extended family. Laughing with my husband and grown children. Snuggling with my sweet granddaughter.
Thinking about how to handle my emotions before the day arrived proved helpful. Though I missed Dad, I did not want it to be a sad day.
There was a moment when tears began to swell. I took a deep breath and snuggled sweet Emi a little closer. Then watched the day unfold-thankful.

Many fold their day in unthankfulness. Happy you can unfold yours in thankfulness.

The holidays bring a lot of joy, but they also emphasize our losses. It’s natural to feel both happy and sad as we celebrate, especially the first holiday without a loved one. I’m glad your day was mostly good!
