Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!!!!

[Beauty for Ashes 257]

We are cooking at my house. My father and grandfather are here so it will be just us three. Everyone is contributing to the cooking which is nice. We are doing it the traditional way with a baked turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, dressing, corn, pies. I can't wait until it is all ready. I never eat breakfast or anything before Thanksgiving dinner so I can have plenty of room.

got home after going to my aunts. All the kids and me went to my sons grave today and the stone was up and it was hard but we needed to. We then went on to see my aunt and had thanks giving. There is a park close to the cemetary and I took their pictures by a lake surrounded by trees. It wasnt as bad as I thought and it was important for my mom to see all the kids all together and dressed up. I survived today and it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. seeing my sons tombstone was very very hard but I enjoyed having my kids by my side...Some things are not describable.. but in time they can become bearable

God Bless You and Your Family H I T

and may he continue to give you strength, peace, and comfort...

Thanks. None of my family would go to the cemetary but my kids go and its helping my son keep my babys life in context and no mommy didnt make him disappear even if no one else will talk about him,he can talk about him with me. The tombstone is granite and amazing and I stopped being mad at my husband for abandoning me with all the problems. I just know in my heart that I went all the way through for my son and gave him a proper burial and tombstone and that he mattered to me. The aunts house I went through was horribly unkind to me during the funeral and told me i should not even bury him or buy memorial cards. Everyone who dies deserves a proper burial and being a mommy doesnt stop when people mess up ( go to jail, have problems in live) or when the child dies. The best memorial for him is for me to do a really good job taking care of my other kids and keeping their life stable. I visit the cemetary often and I have taken my son 2 times this week because he needed to go. He is having the roughest time of everyone. Plus his American dad stood him up for visitation this thanksgiving preferring to get drunk and watch football. So I might not be a "good mom"but I am all he has and he deserves more than a basket case for a mom... I put my big girl panties on

I hope everyone had a wonderful time and ate lots of good food.

I am here with my mom, sis, kids and new nephew. Had my man on computer with us for a couple of hours I think he is lonely. I pray these last couple months will be the last we'll be apart.

My thoughts are with you. I can imagine things are still really hard for you, but I am happy to see you getting stronger and doing what has to be done. Its good to go to the grave if it brings you comfort and I'm really glad you got the headstone for it. Don't let your family criticize you. They obviously don't understand and don't want to. Hopefully things will get better for you in time and you can build new and better memories.
