Ah… Thanksgiving Day, the day for family gatherings and lots of food! A day to be grateful for the things you have, and a wonderful day to spend with those you love.
This used to be a huge holiday for my mothers side of the family, however, when my grandfather died tragically in a car accident almost 3 years ago, the fun of the holiday died with him. He was always the anchor to our ship and somehow now that he is gone it seems the ship is just afloat at sea. So, this year I decided to try something different, something that would evoke his presence, even if for a bit. I collected all the photos (and there were many!) of myself and him during the holidays, scanned them and created a memory book online. Once the printed book comes in the mail, I think I'll gift wrap it and give it to my mom for Christmas. I know she will love it.
