Dedicated with love to those whose
family members won't be joining them
this Thanksgiving. ALWAYS REMEMBER
AND NEVER FORGET.
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear I think about what's happened in the past years As I sit here, in our lonely apartment I'm overwhelmed by feelings of sentiment
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear I've never felt so alone, without you here You were taken from me that September day And the feelings of sadness won't go away
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear When I least expect it, I break down in tears Memories of you...us...overtake my mind Memories...that's all I have...of us rewind
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear Sometimes I see your face, hear your voice so clear Am I going crazy? What is WRONG with me?? Why wasn't it ME under all that debris?
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear It's the third Thanksgiving Day without you near I'm angry, I'm sad...confused feelings still throb Why were YOU taken from me, why my life robbed?
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear And I don't feel like celebrating, I fear The sadness lingers, it doesn't go away Without you here, why celebrate holidays?
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear And I sit here...alone...the sadness still sears How I miss you...my tears are falling like snow My heart breaks, it still lies in pieces, you know
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear In my memories, in my dreams, you appear They tell me to get on with my life--yeah, right I can't...I think about you each day and night
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear My world devastated when you disappeared God, I'd give anything to have you with me But it can't be...but can't face reality
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear It is just another day, without you here Think I'll just go to bed...cry myself to sleep Remember you, then grab the pillow, and weep
It's Thanksgiving Day, Dear...

Karla: This is so beautiful. In my case I remember loved ones lost on September 11, 2001, but also loved ones lost on April 19, 1995 in the Oklahoma City bombing, as I lived in Oklahoma for many years.
Thanks for sharing this, and Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless You.
Love, Susan
