This Thanksgiving, as the world swirls around us, turkeys seeming to fly through the kitchen and pumpkin pie disappearing in nanoseconds, let's remember that our children will take these moments with you to heart and memory. They may only have a fleeting moment here and there with you as you juggle those questions from your mother-in-law and those horrible jokes from your uncle and those nieces running around with crayons. Yet, if in those fleeting moments you are present, joyful, and WITH your child, your child will have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Don't let the chaos get to you. Know it will happen, just as it always does, and set it aside for those moments you look into your child's eyes and hold your child's hand.
