GIVING THANKS

... for the quiet morning kitchen moment between just me and dad; for the bustling in the house as 7 of us tried to get ready in time with just 1 bathroom; for the classic blunder of forgetting the key to let us into the hall when 17 of us miraculously showed up at exactly the same time; for families meeting other families and everyone - 5 different clans that all seemed 1 family that day - getting along like old friends; for the grace that made me cry; for delicious food prepared with love; for cornhole and fierce competition; for rock band and raw talent; for the moment between just me and mom when she felt the baby move; for a thanksgiving to remember with blessings too rich to count.
