ThanksGiving 2008

She called and asked me for a special request.  She wanted a special Thanksgiving Day because she said it would be her last and wanted both her father and I to be together at the dinner table.  I had strong reservations about it but held my feelings in and said o.k. just for her I would do it.  The party was to be held at her dad's house.  I called my mother and told her to pray for me because I was going to be in a sticky situation and could not be with her on that day.  My mother prayed for me and told me to just do it for Jeannette and try and have her enjoy the day.  I did go and as you can see by this picture of her, she had the best time laughing and having fun with the whole family.  She thought I didn't notice that she did not eat anything on her plate.  I knew she had on a wig, false eyelashes and painted eyebrows and a mastectomy bra on and was trying her best to hide the fact that she was depressed and in such pain.  I hugged her and kissed her on her cheek and told her I was so proud of her and how she looked so beautiful.  She spent the night at my house that night.  I remember her telling me, "Ma, thank You for doing that for me ."  I was willing to do anything and everything to make her happy.  I sure do miss my baby.
