Perhaps you have seen this Empty Chair Prayer

shared on Facebook...

Oh, how my mother loved Thanksgiving.

This was the last year (2009) she traveled

to spend the holiday in our home.

Her "gentleman friend" would bring her to stay with us,

while he traveled on to Minnesota to visit his son.

Here she is with Aunt Olivia and Hubby's Mom

enjoying some pumpkin pie and more coffee...

...while the younger generation cleaned up the kitchen.

We would always sing Christmas Carols when we did the dishes on Thanksgiving.

Our daughters and their husbands were just here 

in August for Wedding Week,

so cannot be here for the holidays this year.

I cherish my memories of the Thanksgivings

and Black Fridays that we were able to spend together!

Hugs and prayers for all of you 

that are missing loved ones this holiday.

Cherish the time you have with family and friends.

Take care,

~Natalie
