Before you start yelling at me - Yes, we know that Dad's birthday was November 10th, but it is going to take some time for Benji and I to get as good as you were about making sure we were all organized and ready for family birthdays.
We went to see one of your very favorite artists Friday night, Garth Brooks. I know you really loved Garth and he put on an unbelievable show. I have probably not listened to his music since I was in high school and I am certainly not a huge country music fan, but I can appreciate a good show. So many of the songs made me think of you.
Today, we had a family movie day since it was raining. We watched your favorite Christmas movie, Elf. You would have certainly appreciated Brewer and Keller's enthusiasm for watching this movie. "Bye Buddy, I hope you find your Dad."
Thanksgiving is next week. We are all planning to go to Mom and Dad's for afternoon football games and Thanksgiving dinner. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, this is what I am thankful for right now:
1. Family. All of my family - immediate, extended, friends, work, etc. I am blessed.
2. The fact that Keller asked her Mom for re-assurance this week that you are still here with her as an angel. I hope this never ends. Your prayers that you wrote for Keller and Brewer hang over their bed and always remind us of the importance of prayer and family.
3. My job. While it has not been easy for the past few weeks/months, I have come to appreciate good leadership and good ethics. I hope they find me as important to them as I find them to me.
4. facebook. Sounds weird to say, but this social media giant was never high on my priority list until I realized how important it was to our communication. I can always go back to conversations I had with you and I have facebook to thank for providing this platform.
So, sorry it took so long to get a letter out to you. I will try and get better and until next time, give Raisen a scratch behind the ears for us...TTYL.
K, bye.
