Oh Suzanne, you know how much affinity I feel to this post, my own mixed-up feelings about losing my own mother at a much-too-young age (both of us) on Thanksgiving Day. I'm 15 years behind you -- it's been 21 years since my mother died -- and Thanksgiving is just complicated for me. It always will be. Thanks for reminding me of how bittersweet it is -- some years more bitter, others more sweet.
Hello Elizabeth! I know how bitter and sweet this holiday is for you too. I’m glad you maybe found a bit of comfort reading about that particular Thanksgiving of mine. Here’s to more sweet days than bitter ones.
I love this post, Suzanne. Your love for your mom radiates here. The photos are precious. I'm so glad you shared this with us as we gear up for this complicated holiday.

Also, I love that photo of you.
