Holiday 2008

Thanksgiving is nearly here!
Another year gone by without you.
As I sit and think about what I'm going to be cooking for turkey day I sit and think about how the holidays used to be w/you.
I miss you so much Juanita.  Sometimes I can't think about you w/o crying and I wonder are you thinking the same.  Sometimes I think my world is perfect and then I realize you aren't in it.  If I can imagine how things are going for you up in heaven I'd imagine it being all white.  In a far far away world where everything is beautiful and serene.  Where everything is quiet and calm. Where you can laugh and eat sunflower seeds.  I'd imagine it to be a wonderful world because you're there.  I'd imagine that you miss me and us but that you know when you'll see us again.  I imagine you're cooking up a huge feast and everything smelling so good.  Juanita, I'd give up just about anything to see you one time, to spend one day w/you.  To touch you.  To hug you.  Just one more day.  It seems I'm always wanting and begging to see you one more day.  I had a dream about you the other day.  We were in your kitchen, at the table playing cards.  You were eatting sunflower seeds.  I don't know what we were playing but it seemed fun.  I don't know who else was at the table but I know for sure it wasn't just us.  Then all of a sudden you were telling me something.  You were saying "don't do it".  It plays in my head of what you we trying to tell me not to do.  I think about it all the time.  

Anyway...words can't express and of course I know you know this, I love you so much.  With all of my heart and all of my being.  With all of breath and all my soul.
