Little Man's Mayflower diagram |
This time of year is bitter sweet for our family. We have so much to be thankful for but there are also some sad times attached to the fall for us. Many of the special people in our life have passed away during the fall so it is difficult to remember the happy times without also shedding a few tears of loss. My husband has had many losses on his side of the family including his own dad four years ago. He passed away the day after Thanksgiving in 2008 and is very missed by his wife, sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren...three that he had the opportunity to enjoy, one that he never had the privilege to meet, and one on the way. We are thankful, of course, for the time that we did get to spend with him but wish that it could have been longer. All the holidays were more entertaining with "Pop" around. There is definitely a void there that can't be filled, eventhough we enjoy being together in his absence. He did help make life very full.

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. -Psalms 100
