Thanksgiving Day

Family, food, football. That was today. I am grateful that everyone was here to share the day. I am grateful my dad was here to have Thanksgiving dinner with us once again. He is just too cute when he says prayers before dinner. He's so reverent, so ritualistic when he says it. Although, somewhere along the line, he and his wife changed the words to the prayer, he still says it with gusto! He ate more than the rest of us. Typically, he is slow eater, and it takes him at least 3 times as long as us to eat, but today, he won the prize for most eaten too! He's been especially quiet lately, even during the week with his caregiver. Today was no exception. He didn't interact with the visiting dogs too much, and his talking with us was only in response to our questions or comments. Still, I am thankful that he has recovered from his respiratory illness, and happy that he enjoyed his day. :)
