I'm not referring to the financial spoiling but how my grandmother made everything special and made everyone feel special. It has been roughly 7 years since she passed and we have gotten past not mentioning her but this past thanksgiving i wanted to mention in my grace all those who weren't with us anymore but chickened out. My wife and i were busy cooking and serving everyone so there was no real grace said.
With the birth of my son in 2009 the holidays have had a new excitement but it has also made me miss those who arent here to share it.
