Maybe, maybe not

Ginger1,

This was the first thanksgiving I had with D in 3 years. We stayed at the plaza hotel and went to the macy’s thanksgiving day parade

Plaza Hotel and Macy's Thanksgiving Parade sounds pretty cool! Glad you got to experience it with D!

NGL, holidays are still rough.

I hear you...

I just wish we had that whole big family traditional thanksgiving dinner.

it was just D and I and she said “ I miss my family” I admittedly burst into tears ( PMS) as well.

Her family( Cousins , aunt, uncle, grandmother, his wife’s parents) are all hanging out over there playing a game together and she’s not a part of it. And it’s hard for her, I get it.

I don’t want her to feel like she is missing out and there are certain things I simply cannot give her. And a big gathering with family isn’t one of them.

It's gotta be extra hard knowing not only don't you have the big family, but D does on the other side which has caused you so much pain and she misses it when she's with you. That's tough.

She felt bad and I felt bad, I just explained that I totally understand and that’s why I got sad.

I wouldn't worry about your reaction. It's legit feelings and emotions. She knows you weren't sad or upset because of her.

The exciting thing is my dad booked the our Christmas present. Going to Tampa and seeing our hickey team play. We will be getting hockey and sunshine in, it will be awesome .

Sounds fantastic! Certainly something to look forward to.

The truth is the holidays just really still hurt inside. I’m not a saint. I still hurt . Not for the same reasons I did in the beginning, but for different ones. But tomorrow is a new day

Yeah...I know what you mean. Hang in there.
