Thanksgiving

This is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada.  We had friends over and had a nice visit and the turkey and pumpkin pie were delicious.
But - Lisa is in heaven for Thanksgiving and I miss her terribly.  We haven't celebrated together for a few years but we always had telephone discussions about menus and who would be joining them for dinner.  Rarely did they have a special meal without friends or neighbours.  Both Lisa and Harvey enjoyed entertaining - and cooking.  Unfortunately, they could not be in the kitchen together.  Harvey liked to experiment and Lisa liked the traditional festive meal.  Invariably, they ended up arguing.  So they took turns and Harvey finally learned not to add chestnuts to the stuffing.
I am babbling but I am missing her so much right now and the memories are flooding back. It is so hard to accept that my daughter is a memory.
I am going to Ottawa on Wednesday to spend time with my granddaughter.  I pray it goes better than last time!
