Thanksgiving
Wednesday, November 25, 2009
He is home. My boy is home. Taller than he was just three weeks ago. Broader. A whole new raft of stories to tell. I'd had his room painted versions of chocolate and vanilla. I'd left a chocolate turkey on his pillow. I'd said, "So, hey. What do you think?" when he came downstairs.
"Looking good," he'd said. "So glad to be here."
Myself? My gladness is boundless.
What do I want for each of you? This kind of joy. This kind of wholeness.

Beautiful. Enjoy your time together. Happy Thanksgiving, Beth. xxk
That's so sweet! I'm so happy for you! We are truly blessed!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hooray!
My mom read this and said that type of boundless joy is reserved for parents upon the return of their children - a universal truth.
Enjoy your holiday and your dear boy!

So happy that your gladness is boundless. Enjoy all this beautiful time together. Happy Thanksgiving Beth!
Exactly what I'm anticipating tomorrow...
Have a lovely Thanksgiving, Beth!
Happy Thanksgiving - enjoy your time together :)
I love your posts about when your son comes home. As a fellow mother of a young man who's out of the nest, you so capture my own feelings when I get to see my son (which won't be for Thanksgiving - he's at his dad's - but WILL happen at Christmastime!).
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving :-).
Wonderful...have a Blessed Day/Week end.

A blessed Thanksgiving to a most generous, kind family. Love to all.

I love it when family is together; I really do.
And I love being closer with him as time goes on.
Happy thanksgiving, beth!
