November is here and I think this Thanksgiving after such a life changing storm... there will be lots of people giving thanks for things they never have before. I want to start by saying thank you to all of you for your compassion, understanding and support during the loss of my brother. I will never be the same person again, a piece of me died on Oct. 6th, 2012. I know that sounds mellow-dramatic but I have felt like im missing something, a hole left somewhere on my being, you can't see it, but I feel it.
I think some of you know what I mean, it's no different than watching your town struggle to rebuild, your beloved state flattened, your coastline forever changed, they ALL leaves scars in your heart and memories.

But I have much to be Thankful for....
My family, my home, health and all of you here on DG!

Grace for Thanksgiving Day
Alice Kennelly Roberts

Dear God,
Wherever we may be...On this Thanksgiving Day...
Gathered with loved ones in our homes...
Or many miles away...
We bow our heads, remembering those...
Who shared Thanksgiving past...
Those who have walked with us awhile...
Whose love will always last...
We thank Thee for the joy of friends...
The food before us set...
And for a tiny Pilgrim band...
Whose trials we can't forget...
Help us to sift the good and bad...
The hatred and the strife...
Grant us the wisdom and the strength...
To lead a useful life.
Amen
