Thanksgiving Is Coming!

The time is near to give thanks to God, family, friends, co workers and everyone who you feel have given you a reason to be thankful. While we are all spending time visiting from house to house, do not forget those who are unable to move around as freely as they would like.
I found this cute card at Hallmark, and it said Just wanted to share Thanksgiving dinner with you, but how do I fit this turkey leg in this card!!! It was funny, sweet and thoughtful. This will be my son first Thanksgiving without his father. We will get through it because we all have faith. The only thing that will be missing is Dajon's physical appearance, but his spirit will be sitting at the dinner table right along with everyone else's! We will sit at the table and share a fond memory from last year and when Dajon calls, I'll share that laugh with him over the phone. I know Dajon better than anyone on this earth, sometimes even better than his mother, and definitely better than he knows himself, but the point I'm making is that Dajon will not complain on Thanksgiving. He will pray that his family is safe and happy. He'll ask God once again to forgive him for putting his fate in the hands of other men but he'll also apologize to me and I have forgiven him long ago so it really wont matter but it will make him feel better.

I ask all of my readers who have a friend or loved one behind bars to remember them this holiday season. If you haven't reached out to that person in awhile, take a moment to send a card, a letter or just a simple prayer after you read this. Many men and women in prison do not have anyone to think about them, and the only family they have is the family they have gained while locked up.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL
