Yep the title says it all! My DAD is cooking Thanksgiving dinner and we will all be able to have a family holiday for the first time in years!
My sister Molly called me last night and told me all about it, then I called Dad because I was so excited. He seems to be doing much better now that he has a job. I think he is finally coming back to us.
I am glad of it because this is a bitter sweet holiday; the anniversary of my mom’s death AND my birthday (25 on Friday). I think having one problem being solved (dad) will lessen the effect of the event of 2 years ago.
Gosh, time perception of my mom is totally lost. It does feel like a long time since I have seen her, but then again it was only yesterday when I French braided her hair; the same French braid she died with. I think I am still in denial.
But back to happy stuff, YAY DINNER WITH DAD!

Kaston … I am so happy for you … we talked about your dad months ago and I was never sure of how you were handling the separation. Outwardly you were OK but the inside … I didn’t know.
This will be a very bittersweet holiday for you … enjoy the moment with your dad, think of all the great times you had with your mom (don’t dwell on her not being there with you) …
And, oh yeah … have the best birthday ever.
