A Weird Thanksgiving

I am sitting here alone in my house and I realized something weird. I have a family of 5 and two of us are in Nebraska, two in Oklahoma and 1 in Texas. When Thanksgiving rolls around we will have 3 in Nebraska and 2 in Oklahoma. Even though we will be separated we have so much to be thankful for this year. Our Gherkin has progressed so far since last year in some ways, and in other ways it seems like there is no progress at all. Just the fact that she is still alive is a blessing we were not sure we would have. It is difficult spending so much time apart, but we are thankful for where we are. (Ash has had her transplant as opposed to being here at home and us watching her slowly die while she waits)

Tomorrow there will be a blood drive for Ashley at the First United Methodist Church from 12-5pm. We invite you all to come and be a part of this Blood drive in honor of Ashley. Go to church, eat a big meal then come out and give some blood for Ash. They will take the blood that is donated and send it to the hospital where Ashley is staying. I didn't know they would actually send it there, I thought that was cool. So please come out and be a part of Ashley's Story. Check on the homepage and you can find more information about this event.

Thank you all for checking in on Ash. Have a great night and enjoy each other.
