Thanksgiving

So this year for Thanksgiving we are staying home.  My mother-in-law is coming over and my cousin and his son might be coming also.  The holidays are a struggle for me simply because I am not near my parents and I really HATE not being with them during the holidays (well everyday for that matter!)  I have told my children that while it might seem like a good idea at the time….. Please do not EVER move across the country from me.  I guess if I had one regret in my life - that would be it.  I am lucky to still have my parents after all these years when SO many of my friends have lost one or both of their parents.  I call them pretty much every day but it just isn't the same.
