The following statement might need to be a blog post all to its own:
All my children, with the exception of our son who's in northern California now, will be here for Thanksgiving. Invitations not offered as of yet (they beat me to it), but they want to be here. Even with all our strife this year, they choose to have their knees under our table for Thanksgiving Dinner. Even newly-married son and his wife.
God be praised.
