A Thanksgiving Poem.

The tear another's tears bring forth,
The sigh which answers sigh,
The pulse that beats at other's woes,
E'en though our own be nigh,

A balm to bathe the wounded heart
Where sorrow's hand hath lain,
The link divine from soul to soul
That makes us one in pain,

Sweet sympathy, benignant ray,
Light of the soul doth shine;
In it is human nature givin
A touch of the divine.
~Unknown~


Happy Thanksgiving to all
Be thankful of those close enough to share the day .
Be Thankful of the LOVED ones that are so FAR..
Be Thankful to have one more day go by making the days closer..

HAVE A SAFE HOLIDAY...

Thanksgiving.gif

Love isn't love unless it is expressed;

caring isn't caring unless the other person knows;

sharing isn't sharing unless the other person is included

Happy T Day everyone!!!! I'm in a bit of an emotional mood, so bear with me, heh.

I am thankful for so much this year...firstly, for my good health and the good health of all my loved ones...I am thankful that there is a roof over my head and people whom I love that I share my life with....I am thankful for my amazing parents, who are such supportive and fantastic people. I marvel at the accomplished people they are, how kind, loving, supportive, (and so on!!!) they are. I am who I am because of them...they have taught me pretty much everything I know and I'm so grateful that I am blessed with them as my parents. God has truly blessed me! They are truly my best friends.

I am thankful for my friends..most importantly my best friend. I marvel at her strength, her grace, her intelligence, her courage. She is such an inspiration to me and I would have gone mental without her. She is my rock, my gossip partner, my agony aunt, my co conspirator, my Sister. We will be friends until the end of time.

I am most thankful that I have found the man that I am going to live the rest of my life with. I am thankful for the wonderful person he is, and all the joy he's brought to my life. He has taught me so much about life and love, and I am so grateful to God for sending him to me. He has taught me so much about not 'cutting and running' at the first signs of trouble....he has taught me what it means to feel unconditional love for one's partner. He has taught me to not always see things so black and white...I am a better person because of him. I am so proud of him and the man he is....loving, wildly intelligent, supportive, forgiving, kind hearted, hard working, and so on! I am eternally thankful that he is giving up everything he knows to start a new life in a foreign land with me. I don't know what I've done to deserve him, but I am so grateful that God has blessed me with him.

This Thanksgiving is bittersweet for me...Thanksgiving was always a holiday (barring a couple of them) that David and I were together. We got engaged on Thanksgiving. I remember all my T days in England and how hard he worked to make it a special day for me...one year, he even took us to Plymouth to celebrate there! I miss him so much :cry: But the last line I wrote in D's card says it the best:

I wish you were here oh so bad & my heart aches in your absence. But my heart also waits for the day that you will never leave my side & it rejoices in our love.

I am Thankful to be an American. I am thankful for my life, my good fortune, being able to have a laugh with good friends and loved ones...as my dad always says 'No one's shootin at me'

Happy Thanksgiving!

They are planning something special here in Northern Baghdad too Jodee. I'm not sure what it is, but as long as it isn't that wretched BBQ sauce and can tuna slop they slung up yesterday, I'll be happy.

I saw someone bringing a giant paper mache donkey inside the Chow hall as a centerpiece. Dean, I immediately thought of you.

Matt & Mrs. Matt, and Jodee and her hubby....and all the other soldiers overseas right now & their families...

We are all eternally grateful for you and all you do. (L)
