I now weigh an extra 50 pounds. I’m laying on this couch with most of my flesh sinking into the fabric. I look like I’m pregnant. I am boozed. Happily, I might add. I’m talking slower for some odd reason. I can’t move.
I am…the BEACHED WHALE of Grand Rapids. Hear me, uuhh…’wail’.

Aside from my current life situation, it’s inevitable that I have to be thankful for many things. Friends, dreams, family, work, health, God. Aidan. A lot to be thankful for.
What’s strange though is how much more intense the thanks are when you know there’s sadness and anger in the midst. I’ll be going to a friend’s house from church to have a Thanksgiving dinner. We’ll play games, too. It’s going to be a lot of fun. I’m really looking forward to it.
Where the sadness and anger lies–
Is that I won’t have my son with me.
It makes me that much more thankful that I still have people I love who I share this time with. Although I’ve been hurt for months–being around them can only give me strength. That’s the biggest thanks I give right now.
Happy Turkey Day, readers! I’ll see you when I see you.
