The sun at dawn

The sun at dawn | I LEARNED AT A YOUNG AGE WHAT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HOLIDAYS SUCH AS THANKSGIVING. BY THE TIME I WAS BORN MOST OF MY MOTHERS FAMILY INCLUDING BOTH OF HER PARENTS HAS PASSED AWAY. HER UNCLE CLEM ASSUMED THE ROLE OF FATHER AFTER HER DAD PASSED AWAY. OUR FAMILY GATHERINGS WERE SMALL, BUT VERY MEMORABLE. THEY ORIGINALLY CONSISTED OF MY GRANDFATHERS WIFE, HELEN, CLEM, HIS WIFE OLGA, AND TWO SONS CLEM, EDDIE, AND EDDIES WIFE BECKY. I HAVE SO MANY FOND MEMORIES OF THE EARLY DAYS. MY GRANDMOTHER DIED IN 1991, OLGA IN 1993 AND WITH THAT PAIN AND SORROW BECAME A REGULAR ENTREE AT OUR COVETED HOLIDAY GATHERING. MY MOTHER TOOK OVER THE HOSTING OF THANKSGIVING IN 1997, AND WITH IT HER ALWAYS POSITIVE ENERGETIC SELF BROUGHT JOY BACK TO THE HOLIDAY AGAIN. MY MOTHERS TRAGIC DEATH IN 2010, ENDED OUR FAMILY TRADITION. MY UNCLE CLEM DIED WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF MY MOTHERS DEATH. FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS I FELT NOTHING, BUT SORROW DURING THIS HOLIDAY. I LET A FEW PEOPLE INTO MY LIFE AND THEY TOO WERE STRICKEN WITH CANCER THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY TAKE THEIR LIFE. BILL'S DEATH HIT ME HARDER THEN MY PARENTS. I BECAME GUARDED AFTER THIS AND DID NOT LET PEOPLE INTO MY LIFE FOR FEAR OF LOSING THEM. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FEEL WHAT ITS LIKE TO LOVE AND CARE AGAIN. BUT, SOMEHOW YOU GUYS SNUCK INTO MY LIFE WHILE I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION. I'M SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR OUR FRIENDSHIP. BOTH OF YOUR GENUINE KINDNESS AND CARING, HAS HEALED WOUNDS I NEVER THOUGHT WOULD HEAL. WHEN YOU GUYS BOUGHT ME THE SHELL NECKLACES FROM YOUR TRIPS THAT WAS LITERALLY THE FIRST GIFT ANYONE HAD GIVEN ME IN A LONG TIME. WHEN YOU GUYS INVITED ME INTO YOUR HOME, YOU RESTORED A CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF THAT I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FIND AGAIN. WHEN YOU INVITED ME TO HAWAII THE COMBINATION OF YOUR KINDNESS AND CARING MADE ME FEEL AS IF I MATTERED TO SOMEBODY AGAIN. YOU BOTH THROUGH A FEW SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS HAVE TURNED MY LIFE AROUND. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS INSTEAD OF BEING DEPRESSED, I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE MAY HAVE IN STORE FOR ME IN A NEW LIFE IN HAWAII. ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME HOW TO LOVE AGAIN; SO ON THIS THANKSGIVING I WANT TO SAY, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I'M SO VERY THANKFUL TO HAVE THE BOTH OF YOU IN MY LIFE. I'M A LUCKY MAN! | image tagged in the sun at dawn | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
