I’m struggling about what to write here this evening. Today was thanksgiving.. and i woke up thankful.  We had a really great day with family and friends.. and I felt grateful to be surrounded by love

At the same time. The last  two days have brought sad news from both sides of our family . My sister in law Pat’s mother Dot passed away yesterday and today we learned that my young cousin Alan died earlier this week. Alan and his family live here in Burlington. I still can’t really take it in.. Tomorrow we will see Alan’s family and I am bracing for that.

Our hearts go out to both Dot and Alan’s families tonight

night all, nite sam
