Thanksgiving was awesome! We all missed Blake terribly and when my grandfather blessed our dinner and spoke about Blake, I lost it. Quietly lost it- but lost it. We did finally get to talk to him though and he was enjoying his Thanksgiving with all his buddies.
There was so much to be thankful for this year. After the last 2 years of craziness, we are finally a family again and my family treated us as one - with love and respect - just as I knew they would.
This was the first real family get together since we have been officially back together and hubby was a little nervous but I have the most incredible family and I know they would never do anything to disrespect our marriage. They have way too much class for that.
My entire family (knowing all they know) truly respects our marriage and our love more than they ever have. I think part of it is because I have shown that I can forgive him for what happened and I can love him more than ever. I was never the forgiving kind before - I could hold a grudge like no other and for a while I did!! Regardless, it doesn't really matter anymore what cruel and hateful words might spew from the mouths of "others". We know we have a safe and loving place to enjoy the holidays and that rocks!!
I love my family so much and I am so grateful for their acceptance. I am so lucky to call them mine :) We can't wait until Christmas when we're all together again!!
