Thanksgiving
Not a lot happened today. Not just because weβre still doing the covid thing, apparently, we just donβt do much on Thanksgiving.
We have lunch with two of the people Iβm most grateful for outside of my little family, mom and dad.
Theyβre both 70+ and weβre in contact every day. They pick up the kids from school and make sure homework is done and all that good stuff.
Theyβre always there for us. I wonβt post their pictures here. Dad wouldnβt like it and Mom would kill me.
Dadβs a shade tree mechanic. He worked in textiles and around machines all his life. If itβs got an engine he can probably fix it or βimproveβ upon it.
Momβs a retired nurse so thatβs great to have around. Especially since my son had so many health problems in his early years.
They support us in every way Iβve already said but also emotionally and with advice on raising the kids. (Not all of it is used, opinions vary.)
Weβre all pretty old school on the latter part of that. The kids are being raised respectfully and fairly conservatively.
My wife and I understand the age gap and that times do indeed change.
The kids are taught to think for themselves and not let emotion cloud judgement.
Weβre going to be okay.
And Iβm thankful for that.
Thatβs it. Thatβs the post.
