I'm thankful for my beloved Aunt Sis, who we just learned has fallen, broken her hip (again), and is in the hospital, where she'll spend the holiday before moving to rehab. Again. She weighs only 88 lbs now (at nearly my height, 5' 7" ish) and is sleeping a lot. I hope she is peaceful and comfortable.
And I'm thankful for Goo, who showed up after a full shift at the hospital (he's a third-year medical student) totally prepared to play with his niece and nephew. They have played the piano for him, watched "What Does the Fox Say?", had a dance/gymnastics party, and made two pies--pecan and apple butter pumpkin--before settling into Minecraft now. He is a blessing.
