mysecondchance's Thanksgiving Experience

Thanksgiving

I couldn't wait to celebrate the holidays. I had not been sure I would still be around. On November 12, 2010 our hall toilet overflowed and we sustained major damage in the house. All flooring and the bottom three feet of walls had to be replaced. It couldn't have happened at a worst time. But we dealt with it. I see things in a different context now. It's hard to worry about things that can be fixed. We always spend Thanksgiving at home; you cannot pry me from my house. Well this year we had Thanksgiving dinner at Mimi's Cafe. I had planned to make a little apeech about how happy I was to be alive and grateful to the people who helped me get through the ordeal. My mom made a speech of her own in which she gave me full credit for surviving because of my determination and will to live. Wow!
