I'm hosting a pity party for Thanksgiving - I'm the only attendee.
Our family of four, plus one grammy was planning on the long trek to Vero Beach this morning for a great visit with the entire family for a few days, plus the fun of a long-overdue visit with friends. Unfortunately my mom (grammy) was hospitalized with pneumonia yesterday morning, so plans were drastically changed & here I am at my pity party. I wanted Roger to still take the girls so they would be able to visit with their other grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who are all visiting from as far away as California and New York.
I had no idea that my heart would break into a million pieces as they drove away this morning. I knew I would miss them, of course. But the grief was and continues to be overwhelming.
I've had so many sweet friends offer to either have me attend Thanskgiving dinner, or even just bring me a plate....I'm so grateful for their thoughts and prayers. But for some reason, I just want this to be my Thanksgiving - party of one. I miss my family.

Oh Deb-
I am so sorry that you are alone. I wish I could come over and sit with you until Roger and the girls get back. I hope that your grandmother is alright and know that she is in our prayers.
BIG Ladybug hugs,
Debbie
Ah Deb. Hugs, honey. That post just broke my heart! I hate that you're there without Roger and the girls (and us!). I hope your mom is doing better. Is she on fluids and antibiotics? Any idea yet when she might go home? I'm gonna try to call you now. Love ya!
