Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately I spent 3 hours in the er Monday afternoon in terrible pain. On Friday I had my second lithrotripsy treatment and was told it was good. So the stone apparently broke up and was not suppose to give me anymore trouble. HA! They have never had a kidney stone! They couldn't have otherwise they would have gave me something for pain. So by the time Monday came I could not stand the pain and made the trip into the er and spent 3 hours there wishing I was home helping with dinner. When I got home dinner was ready and waiting and it was soooooooooo good! I am so glad my husband knows how to cook otherwise we would have been starving. This year I am especially thankful for my family and hope that we have many more Thanksgiving dinners together that are happy and joyful as this one was. Yes even though I spent 3 hours in the hospital it was still a good one because we were together. As my oldest daughter gets older I hope that she sees the importance of spending the holidays with her family and continues to spend it with us. I often worry that as she gets older she won't want to be with us on holidays like I see so many other kids now going to spend them with friends instead of family. However , I think at least I hope that we are showing her the importance of family and family togetherness.
