A Thanksgiving to remember!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, hope all of ya'll had a great Thanksgiving. I for one

had a wonderful one. My sister's house was destroyed by a tornado

Tues evening. In fact her whole subdivision was wiped out.

Luckily, her family is fine. Her twin daughters aged 6 didn't get

a scratch. We have spent the last couple of days trying to salvage

what clothes etc...we can. But, the whole neighborhood has been

declared a disaster. They only had one death. There could have

been so many more.

I will always remember this Thanksgiving, standing on the street

while people volunteered their time and energy to help clear trees

and debris. I saw what Thanksgiving really means....people helping

total strangers. Checking on ole folks who wouldn't leave what

little house they had left. I actually felt proud to be a part of

it. We shared what turkey dinner we did have with the folks across

the street. They are very old and have no children....only one

little dog. They had no hot food, hot water or electricity, but

couldn't be convinced to leave their house. Several of the men

climbed up on the roof and put plastic on the ceiling to keep any

rain out. We will continue to check on them and make them as

comfortable as possible. I am very thankful this Thanksgiving.

Wow Donna.

Thank you so much for sharing that story. It really puts into perspective

truly what the holiday is about.

While we enjoy all the trimmings, it isn't about the food or the things,

it's about people and love and sharing.
