    Today is supposed to be about Thanks...

    You will find the things you are thankful for right around your table today... You have a loving family and they will get you through this... whether you want them too or not :lol:

    And be thankful you have all of us :mrgreen: . .. I know I am thankful for the likes of you... :D

    I agree with BD.

    My Thanksgiving is going to have an element of sadness to it, but I'm going to concentrate on all the love that's going to be in the room.

    Hang in there....things will get better....and I'll keep you in my thoughts.

    I am so sorry to hear about your day. as a person who has lost both parents and one recent i can only tell you that try to enjoy the time you have with your family. it will not be the same thing but it can still be good.

    wish the best to you and your family.

    Hmmm, ok, expected kind of shitty? I mean it was probably gonna be kinda shitty so just went like that? Was your bro ok? In a shitty kinda way, but ok all the same? Hope you got to stuff your face with some yummy food at least.
    Anyway, yeah, don't we wish we were all in Mexico City today? Hope you're ok.

    Important thing is that you still have your brother, make the best of it :)

    Very heartbreaking to read all this... Change is not often easy. I hope you enjoyed the time you had yesterday with the remainder of your family. Thanksgiving is the time to celebrate what we do have, even if it isn't the same as what we used to have. Wishing you and your family all the best.

    i didn't see this until now, i hope you are ok today...
    i do want to tell you how, well, happy is not the right word...glad i guess, that you are seeking support of any kind to get through these times. a close friend of mine lost his dad a month ago yesterday, and he is shutting everyone out, me included. i have no idea how he is handling things, he won't talk to anyone about it.

    so cheers to you for reaching out to all of us. i hope, in small ways even, that it is helping.
    and i hope you got through yesterday unscathed.
    and that your brother did too.

    Haven't been around for a few days.

    Another heart aching thread about your current situation DS.

    So sorry for you,but thanks for your family.I have worked with children and young adults with additional needs for years now and there is one thing these amazing people can do it make your day feel better just because they are in it.

    I hope you were able to tell your brother Teresa couldn't be there but she was thinking about him,that would have probably satisfied his questions.

    I hope you were able to smile today

    Sorry to hear you had a crappy day :( .

    rough times. Hang in there friend, things will get better.

    let yourself be sad, mad, empty, lost...
    go to the bottom

    then know your father is with you, just like always ...

    he needs you to be there for your brother, just like always

    love is going to find its way to you
    until then be hopeful and positive, cause life is better when you are,

    not just for you but for all who love and need you
    but this .... you already know
