Late Thanksgiving post...
Had a big family get together down in Tampa over the weekend. Sadly though, it wasn't as originally intended.
In the spirit of the holiday, I'm thankful for having such a wonderfully kind and loving woman in my life. Someone not blood, but family nonetheless. So selfless that she and her husband would open their home to those in need. One of which, a young girl with nowhere to go after being forced into the streets by her step-father, would become an older sister to her own seven children. And eventually, my mother.
But with her health failing since earlier this year, being hospitalized on Sunday, and slipping into a coma on Friday, her 85 lbs body simply could no longer support such a large, compassionate heart.
Her and her husband of 53 years. My "Nan" and "Pap"
