It’s the night before Thanksgiving and the kids and I are getting ready to make Portuguese Dressing. A family tradition I took for granted when I was young and dumb, but now only truly appreciate now that you’re gone. I’d give anything to just sit down and talk to you- life would be so different with you here. I cry every year the night before Thanksgiving, usually when I’m frying up the Portuguese Dressing, thinking about you. I’ve become a pro at grief, so it’s hard for anyone to even notice. But I have my moments- and it’s in those moments that I miss you most. Happy Thanksgiving Dad- until we meet again. I love you and miss you terribly.
