Thanksgiving thoughts

My husband bought a camera that takes pictures upon motion detection. Thanks to this camera, he can now see the deer on the land he has leased even if he isn't there to see/shoot them in person. The deer in these 2 pictures has Tim so excited to go hunting every weekend. He can't wait to meet him in person.

We left to our camping spot on the deer lease on Thanksgiving morning. We went sans children and we cooked a delicious turkey over a campfire. We spent 2 wonderful days reminiscing about falling in love and enduring the challenges our marriage has faced.

I said, "we have to say what we are thankful for." Tim did not have to even think about his response. He said, "I am thankful for a wife who is so brave, stood by me when a lesser person would not have done so and has so much love in her heart for me and others." Wow! I replied, "it was a tremendous honor for me to be the one at your side, loving and supporting you in your time of trial and despair, and I have no regrets."

I am thankful for the love, dignity and respect I have been blessed with being married to Timothy Wayne Barrett.
