Just what may help me survive Turkey Day

I was SO looking forward to 4 days off of work but not really looking forward to spending Thanksgiving alone. I was really thinking this was going to be tuff.
Tonight while cleaning out her backpack, my daughter produced my salvation from feeling really bad about the holiday upon us.
Out of the backpack came a very first grade yet very meaningful picture of the crayon variety. It has a hand drawn picture of me,her and her brother on it. We are standing on level ground with fall colored leaves at our feet. The sky is gray.
On the bottom in her very best printing penmanship it says…and I quote…
“I am thankful for my mom because she loves me.”
It brought me to tears.
I carefully folded it up and inserted it in my purse. I am sure I will be looking at it more than a bazillion times in the next 24 hours.
Thank you sweet daughter of mine.
I am thankful for you too. (all my kids actually)
More than anyone will ever know.
Happy Turkey Day internet.
Let the Eat-A-Thon begin…
