Today, my little family celebrates Thanksgiving physically apart, but together in our hearts.
BJ is with his bride, Catie, and her family. They are in St. Helena, at the same location of their wedding in September. LUCKY!!!!! To them, I want to say thank you. Beege, you know what you mean to me. You are my rock, my joy, my laughter. You, my boy, are my constant source of entertainment. Thank you. And Catie, WOW.....where do I begin. I love you and am SO HAPPY that you are finally a Taylor!!!! Thank you for loving my boy like you do, and for embracing our little family like you do. To both of you, saying thank you just isn't enough.
Ashley, Cameron and my Charleston are celebrating Thanksgiving on their own this year. What a blast!!! Ash, you are not just my daughter but also my best friend. WE are in this journey TOGETHER. You hold my Charleston's life in your hands every single moment of every single day and night. Saying thank you just isn't enough. Cameron, you are an amazing father. When I watch you interact with your precious son, I thank God for you.
I am with my mom in Laguna. This wasn't planned, but I am so thankful that I am here. My mom has taught me so much. She taught me to love unconditionally, to stand up for myself when needed (even though she hasn't always liked it when I do), and how to be the best nana on the planet. I have the best mom in the world. Saying thank you just isn't enough.
I have some amazing cousins. Sherry and her sweet husband Shane have welcomed me into their home. They hold me up when I need it; hug me when I cry; laugh with me when I fall down (literally!). And Pam.....without you I don't know what I would do. You are always there for me, unconditionally, no questions asked. Saying thank you just isn't enough.
There are so many people that are helping me and my family through our journey with loving Charleston. The volunteer firefighters in Reno; lifelong friends; new friends that we meet along the way; SMA families that we will never even meet in person. Saying thank you just isn't enough.
And to my Charleston.................baby boy, how do I tell you how much I have you to thank for? You have changed my life. Little did I know what it would mean to be your nana. I treasure you. Like I always tell you...................I love you more than all the stars in the sky...............more than the fishies in the ocean.................more than the sand on the beaches. And what I end it with in my heart............I love you more than all the tears I cry for you.
Saying thank you just isn't enough.
