I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your friendship and all that it means to me!! God has blessed my life in so many ways . . . and knowing that there are friends who care and pray with and for me are at the top of my ‘Thanksgiving list”.

As you can imagine, my life is so totally different now and each day forces me to face a new and devastating dimension of my loss . . . creating a whole new context for my life. It also teaches me the incredible power of choices . . . to run from the loss or to face it as best I can. I choose to grow in and learn as much as I can from my loss . . . to grow in character and learn wisdom. A moment-by-moment choice, as it is so much easier to dodge pain rather than confront it! With all that said . . . the grief and pain is still there. . . my days feel long and the nights even longer, but I find God is still as faithful and trustworthy as He has ever been and the Holy Spirit is an incredible comforter!!

This Thanksgiving I am trying to focus on the wonderful forty Thanksgivings Sam and I shared and the incredible twenty-five Thanksgivings we shared with Christen. I am so thankful for Kevin, as we celebrate together this year all that we have to be thankful for. Kevin has been remarkable as my constant encourager, “dinner partner’ and awesome, attentive son . . . I am SO thankful for him and the man that he is . . . so much like his Daddy!!

I have a grateful and thankful heart for a God who feels and understands our grief . . .a God who hears & answers prayer . . . and provides incredible friends like you!

Thank you for walking with me in this journey!

Blessings to you this Thanksgiving season.

In His Love,

Ann
