One of the many blessings of divorce is that my children know the 'day' of any given holiday is insignificant. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Birthdays or a holiday 'just because' can be celebrated any time of the year.
Today was Thanksgiving at the McCormack household. The day couldn't have been more perfect. We were all together. My children willingly cancelled a few of their teen commitments for 'our' Thanksgiving. We worked together to create a most delicious meal. We played football in the rain. We ate a ton. We played a slew of board games. We laughed. We talked. We were together.
The fact that today is not Thanksgiving or the fact that their dad 'has them' this year for Thanksgiving never entered our minds.
As they were about to leave with their dad one child said, "Thanks Mom for making sure we had Thanksgiving at home."
Thanksgiving at home.
I am so thankful!
