On Thanksgiving morning, I received an email from my Gran. She lost her spouse (my grandpa) in recent years. My Gran has had a hard time with it, and has prayed a lot. She talks about how she wishes he would show up in her dreams and wonders why he hasn’t. Well, it happened the night before Thanksgiving, and that’s what her email was about. They were in some sort of terminal, she couldn’t recall whether it was a train station or an airport. When they saw each other they ran toward and embraced. She talked about details like being able to smell his aftershave and feeling his hug. My Grandpa had badly arthritic shoulders toward the end of his days, but in her dream he was his younger self and could wrap her up. I am so thankful that My Gran shared this with me on Thanksgiving for several reasons. Mainly because she was so happy… because the dream brought her joy and not sadness… but also because it reminded me to appreciate the small things about the ones we love. The holidays can be a stressful time with travel and all the hustle bustle… I feel like the email from my Gran made me slow down this Thanksgiving and heightened my awareness in cherishing the small things about my family and friends. We never know how long we have with each other and we need to maximize our experiences together!

Met a few new guys this morning, and they have some pretty cool names. A few of them had great stories attached to them (ask Uncle Joe or M.I.A. next time you need a good story)
