Your First Thanksgiving

Happy 1st Thanksgiving, Liam Anthony!

We made it... got through our first Thanksgiving. The holidays bring up a mix of emotions, mostly sadness because you aren't here to share them with us. I know that you are here with us, but it's different. I keep telling myself that "different" is good, but it still breaks my heart. Not having you to hold is the one thing that I never wanted to be different!

On Wednesday, we took Landon out to dinner and to see Happy Feet 2. It was a cute movie and we all had a good time, but I found myself crying and sad because we won't be able to have moments like that with you. Watching your brother laugh and smile, made me wish- every more than usual- that we would be able to hear you laugh and see you smile. I would give anything to hear you laugh, to feel your little hand on my face, and to hear you say, "I love you, Mom!"

Thanksgiving day we kept quite busy. We went to Great Meme and Papa's house for lunch. Your Great Meme is an AMAZING cook! She always makes a feast with all the trimmings and more! Landon mostly ate turkey... turkey for a turkey! We tried to pace ourselves, as that was our first of two thanksgiving meals!

After we spent some time with Great Meme and Papa, and your brother entertained the crowd, we went to the Waybury Inn for Thanksgiving with Mimi and Pop-Pop. Mimi was tired of cooking for 30+ people every year, so we decided to go out... no cooking, no dishes, no stress. We all had a nice time, and once again your bother entertained us all and then some!

Nonna and Grandpa went to New York to see your Great-Grandma Marchione. It was also Great-Grandma's birthday, so Nonna made a cake as well as enjoying a big Thanksgiving meal at your Great Aunt and Uncle's house.

Even as I sit here and type you this letter, I sigh and tear up. Some days are getting easier... not better, but easier. Nothing will ever be better. I miss you so incredibly much and continue to reach my arms up to you!

Keep shining, My Little Star! I am so proud of you and am honored to be in your presence and that God chose me to be your Momma. You are God's most perfect and precious Angel!

I love you to the moon and back, Liam!
All my love FOREVER,
Momma
