Babe, I wish you and your family the best Thanksgiving. I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you can come together and reminisce. It is true that as long as we love someone they never really leave us.

When I list all the many things I am thankful for, you are at least seven of them. Thank you for being the best beta, sounding board, confidante and cheerleader a writer could possibly pray to have. You are one of the most essential ingredients on my Thanksgiving table.
