Our Thanksgiving week was quiet and uneventful. Quiet was just what I needed as life is crazy as ever now that the Christmas season is underway. I can't believe how busy I am and will be at school and at home to boot.
I realize that I have much to be thankful for. I am so thankful that I have my family and friends. When I get too hard on myself, they are there to pick me up and remind me that I am loved. They love me even when I feel unlovable.
Our sweet Beagle, Penny had a scare this week. She may not be totally out of the woods just yet. She appears to have bruising over her entire right side. The vet said that she has fluid on her right lung and even some hemorrhaging behind her right eye. I fear that she has a clotting condition, but the meds the vet prescribed appear to be working for now.
Today, I have thought a lot about my dad. He would have been 66 years old today. That still seems young to me. There are times I miss him so much. We didn't talk much, but I always knew he was there. Now I wish we had talked more or perhaps that we would have listened more to each other. There is a space in my life that he used to fill. Now that space is just empty. There is simply nothing there and nobody can fill it. It makes me wonder if my own children will feel the same when I am gone. I miss so many these days. Tom's parents, Granny, Michelle, Daddy.... So many spaces in my life now.
On a brighter note, Tom and Becca both have auditions for a community production of "Fiddler on the Roof". I know they would both appreciate prayers for them.
