The first Thanksgiving after the death of my husband, I remember doing much of the same that you plan on doing. Life takes you in different directions and sometimes it just feels right to be doing your own thing. 8 years later, I'm remarried and back to celebrating traditions. When people used to tell me that "it just takes time" I wanted to smack them. Now I know...it's true. Even though that's the case, I will never say that to someone, because I know how it made me feel. I was 31 at the time (39 now) and it seemed like life would never be the same. True, it's not the same, but it's pretty amazing and I'm so grateful for that. Hang in there Jenna, our angels in heaven are blanketing us with their love today and everyday.
