   Lucian, I am so going to miss you at our Thanksgiving table tomorrow. But know that you will be close in my heart and my thoughts. I will give thanks that you are safe, happy and healthy. I envy the Embassy family for they will have what I hold most dear. Jillian, Dad I will not have an easy time, I’m sure. But know that you are most loved and admired. Who will share the artichokes?
   I love you,
   Mommy
   XXXOOO

   Smell that? You smell that?
   Tortillas, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of tortillas in the morning. Smells like… victory…

   I’ll be missing you over the holidays bro, so take care and have a happy Thanksgiving!

   Hey Kid,

   I am happy to see that you have added to this gift of communication. Thank you for that. I am a bit behind, but it is not because you are absent from our hearts and thoughts.

   I am sorry to say that this Thanksgiving Day was not enjoyed as it should have been by me. While in the deep of it, and in after thought, I would like to have done the day differently. To have stood still, to move only to take a breath, or two, to think of you, each of us thinking of you at that moment, all together in the same breath. To send you love. But the day was shadowed with a cruel face of reality, we were given another person that required more personal time then we had expected. For this, mom and I missed spending time with your family. I feel that loss, very much. We missed the chance to sit at the table as a family, to say the Thankful Prayers, and think of all the gifts we have each been given. I know you were here, in the thoughts of each of us through out the day, but how I would like to do the day over. I see in my head - Irene, Sharol, Ms. Millie and Jill too, sitting there with plates in front of them. Dad’s in his room and I’m going back and forth taking him what he needs, mom in another room caring for aunt Becky, I hear your mom giving thanks to keep you safe, Sharol, Jill and others join in.

   I will always remember the profile of your mom with her head down giving thanks for your safety.

   Jill was the happy picture taker; she was going around having people pose. All this with you in mind. She’s such a good girl. She’s one sister to be very proud of! She has grown to be a beautiful woman, and should be respected for who she grown to be. She was stunning Thursday. Irene looks great with her new hair cut; it really gives her a brighter look. Not sure that sounds right - just know the hair cut looks great. Love Ms. Millie, she is such a hoot! I enjoy chatting with her. I didn’t get much of a chance this visit to really chat. Your dad looks really good too, I like his hair shorter, he’s very handsome this way. He too is a good man. This is why I feel you will do well on this venture of yours. You had these people to love you, to influence you, just as Jill has grown; you too have their guidance along your way. . Just think - the advice they have given, the memories you have of them, are really your very own library to pull from as you need them. See, told you you’ll do well.

   Everyone is well, and miss you very much. Love ya to the moon and back!
