Thanksgiving Thoughts
This Thanksgiving wasn’t supposed to be anything special. My family would come, we would eat, talk a little, laugh a lot, and everybody would go home just as they had come. Instead, this year I will be mourning the loss of a friend and be even more thankful for every day I have with my loved ones.
On Thursday, November 18th, 2004, Cole Daniel Webb went home to God. He went peacefully, for which everyone is thankful. I had just recently become very close with his mother, Kristin. I loved when I would call and she would put the phone up to Cole and he would babble away at me. I’m going to miss that. I’m going to miss the pictures of Cole and the updates on the new things he could do. As much as I will miss him I know in my heart I will see Cole again. For Kristin and her husband, Dan, I hope the time apart from Cole will only seem like an instant and they will be back with their Bongo Boy again.
So this Thanksgiving, when we sit down at our table, let us not forget the people who are hurting. Let’s remember that every day is a blessing, every moment a treasured gift, and every instant is one instant closer to seeing our loved ones again.
