I love thanksgiving, it makes me and my family happy. Thanksgiving week brings about a special chance to be reminded of our many blessings. And, for that I am thankful. The chance to take a moment and " count them one by one." A chance to teach our children of the things in life for which they should be grateful for. A chance to embrace and cherish our loved ones. It is at this time that I also wish my mom a Happy Birthday!
The Williams family.Dad affectionately calls the "the original 5"
And as a birthday wish, I'd like to say "Thanks for giving..."
Thanks for giving us your time. Time to visit, time to play, time to help when we need it.
Thanks for giving us your energy. Travel and flying, we appreciated the energy it takes to plan a visit to see us. Especially, the times when we ask you to come on short notice.
Thanks for giving us your undivided attention. We always feel like one in a million when mom is around. Thanks for being so positive and encouraging.
Thanks for giving us your listening ear. Lengthy phone calls with important scoop, or just the daily recaps. Thanks for listening 2x a day!
Thanks for giving us your friendship. My favorite afternoons of "Hectors", shopping or manicures brought to me because of you! I love it and look forward to the fun.
Thanks for giving us your support and love. The self sacrificing and unconditional love we feel everyday. For this, we are thankful!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday!
We will celebrate when we see next.
