I’m getting ready to go over to my niece’s house for Thanksgiving Today, we celebrate early as a lot of my relatives work on Thanksgiving. Not to worry, we grew up in the service industry so are used to celebrating holidays on odds days 
But what struck me is that I’m here to celebrate this year. You see, I just went through major surgery on my pancreas, tumors - non cancerous thank God, but it’s been a tough few months. I do have a lot to be thankful for, one being the exceptional doctor that could perform such a surgery. They call the proceedure a Whipple, I have two pancreas now instead of just one lol, hope they both keep working
Sadly, I lost a dear friend in the last couple weeks, Dianne Parkinson, she was also an author and a darn good one. Unfortunately, there were complications after her recent surgery. I don’t know the details so I won’t spectulate, but I do know I miss her a lot. One thing tells me she’s in a special place of her chosing and I pray she is happy. I miss you Di.
These last months and all that has happened makes me realize everything I have and there is so much to look forward to still seeing and living. I’m really grateful to be here and I do thank God for letting me stay a while longer.
Thanksgiving means a lot of different things to every person. I do hope you enjoy yours and take a moment to just be thankful for it all…
I know I am.
