The Big E

Being hit daily with the reality of my mom not being here for Thanksgiving. Went to a great parade in Stamford - big balloons, beautiful weather and in a city of this size, ran into a few people I knew. Made it feel like home. Just made me wish she was still here even more. I promised her last year that I have her up for parade weekend.

Not worrying about the turkey doesn't take away from the huge hole we all feel. Hard to even think about Christmas. She was the axis - no question about it. Am heading down on Wednesday for the long weekend. My younger sister has the heavy lifting - my mom's stuffing "recipe" - and luckily Balducci's is handling the rest.
