This Season

Thank you Family for a wonderful Thanksgiving...we had a wonderful time together...laughter, joy and good food...BUT I would like to mention two things that really made the days special for this ole' Bear...first was an example of love and dedication that Robyn showed thru her staying with her Mom while Mrs.O was at the MD...it was what a daughter was "of course" "supposed to do" BUT it was done with love and grace well beyond that...it showed how important her Mom is to her but also how important Mrs. O is to Tim and the girls...they arrived here safely and well in time to have an enjoyable supper and evening with us all and with the good news that all was well with Mrs. O. I truly believe Robyn was living by example and that really is the true way to teach others what we believe. Thanks for being YOU Ra!
The next thing that was special to me..may have not been my first response but is truly one I feel deep in my heart...I saw my daughter being torn between leaving us to spend time with Jonathan's family on Thanksgiving..Thanksgiving is meant to be spent with family..I love that families STILL have the tradition of getting together on the one day to celebrate...BUT the real joy of the Season is to remember your family that day and the rest of the year also...My children know this I believe and I hope they will always remember that Thanksgiving is ALL about family and that means ALL the people you love...every day...This ole' Bear is so unwise in so many factors but knows her heart for sure...and I am proud of my family and that they have chosen to have people in their lives that reflect the love of family and friends..NOT just of their selves....Carry On Gang...you all have a BIG head start on a long and PEACEFUL life.... 125!
