I just had to laugh at this picture! Took me back into memory of their humor and smile. Always wondered what it would be like to still have these two with us today but knowing we got good memories to still make them feel like they're here with us today ;)
We were never a big fan of turkey. John especially did not like it at all. One year he came up with the ideal to do a different nationality for our thanksgiving. We have done chinese, mexican, Italian, and greek. It turned out to be a pretty good thing. each one of us would pick a dish and cook it here, if it turned out that was good. If it didn't well we didn't do that again. The kids really enjoyed this, and it set new traditions for us. It was funny to us because people would say, " what are you doing for Thanksgiving" , and when we would tell them we would sometimes get the "look". Those who knew John knows that he did not follow the crowd when it came to anything. He did his own thing. I love that so much about him. he was his own person. He didn't feel the need to impress anyone. he was who he was, if you didn't like it oh well, your loss. What a wonderful person.
I am so thankful today for him being a part of the kids and my life. and for him to allow us to be apart of his. What a ride, What a life. With the holidays here, and thoughts, and memories of him it is very hard to get through them. He left his mark on so many people that he touched. If you were lucky enough to have know John, you know this. I hope everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving, and carries some fond memories of my John with you today. Love Donna
