Different
If you haven't seen this over at Army Wife's, well....grab a tissue and head over.
I left the comment that as soon as I hear the opening notes on the song I get chills. Then the tears start to form.
I'm lucky. Mama Vi is still with us. But....it's different now. No details, just.....different.
I miss the Mama I had. And I know - Mama misses her too. She tells me. Every time we talk.
THAT breaks my heart even more.
Thanksgiving. A bittersweet holiday for me. I try to fill it with the family of friends that I have.....but oh, I do so miss the family of my memories........

funny where footprints are left.
sometimes they are left in the strangest places.
oh and I have a hard time praying at the Holiday table, a very hard time.
I elude to a simple thank you, because my heart is is full of thanks it wants to explode and come out in tears....
