We have so much to be thankful for. In the last few days we have reencountered old friends, we have been supported and loved by many good friends and family members, and most of all - we now have you, Emma. So on Saturday night we had a true Thanksgiving dinner. We ate turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, broccoli, salad, gravy - the whole w
orks. Maria brought an extra table and chairs ( and wine glasses, cups and plastic silverware), Tia Hilda brought pastries for dessert and a friend of your Mom's, Ruth, had sent an edible bouquet, which we also used for dessert. Tico brought the wine. We ate off plastic plates and used paper napkins, but there was nothing disposable about our joy and thanks.

It was so wonderful to have Aloha "Lady", Tico and Mariela here, and Maria, Israelito, Victor, Juan, Andreina, Yohana, Yenny, along with your Mom's friend since grade school, Enrique, Tia Hilda, Mauricio, and of course, Uncle Randy, Grandpa, Grandma and Mom.
We gathered together in the house in Savanna and visited, cooked, ate and drank, and everyone gave thanks for your arrival. We looked at all your pictures, admired all your new outfits and gifts, held you and fed you. I was busy cooking, but your Grandpa managed to get a few pictures for our album.
You must know how loved and welcome you are. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
We give thanks.
