Hold on to those you love. On this day of Thanksgiving, take a moment and open your heart and mind to all our brothers and sisters, no matter their color or their religion or their sexual orientation. We are all living breathing human beings after all and deserve love and respect and equality. Think about that for a moment today.
I lost my father less than two weeks ago, my brother in law passed away last night. I am going to hold my family tightly on this day of thanksgiving.
So today, everyday open your minds and hearts to all our brothers and sisters~
Love is but the song we sing,
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Know the dove is on the wing
And you need not know why
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Some will come and some will go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
Fading in the grass
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing,
You must understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Right now
Right now!

So yes....holding them close for a time, which may be drawing to a close.
I'm so sorry for your losses, sheshe. It strikes hardest at times like this, and my heart aches for you. Take care of yourself, and as best you can, remember the goodness of those who have passed on.
