Thanksgiving was last week and I was very blessed that this year I could enjoy it. We went into the assisted living center/nursing home and spent our Thanksgiving with my great auntie and the other seniors who live there.
My maternal grandmother passed away when I was 7 years old and her sister (my great auntie) stepped up to the plate to replace her. She helped my single mother raise my brother and me, so we are all extremely close.
For the second year in a row we spent Thanksgiving in the center with her and enjoyed a nice catered dinner. Every holiday the center caters in a dinner and we can enjoy it with her for only $10.00 per person. This year it was my great auntie Helen, my mother, myself, my daughter, grand daughter and of course…my husband was there too!
My photo for our “Almost Wordless Wednesday” for this week is a 5 generations photo that was just taken last week during Thanksgiving! We are so blessed that we all got to spend another holiday – together!
I love this photo of the 5 generations of women/girls in your family. It is great that you area able to enjoy these moments and that you contribute so much of your time to help the woman who helped you grow up.
I have a tear in my eye. Thank you for sharing your wonderful 5 generations with your readers.
My mother was happy to be the matriarch of our family, and the younger generations called her “Auntie.” Your beautiful Auntie reminds me so much of my mother. I miss her more and more as time goes by. How she loved being surrounded by generations of her family! Thanks again.
I love “generations” pictures–they are keepers. Great that the center invites family; I’m sure it brightens everyone’s spirits to get together. I love the holidays for sharing the love.
What a wonderful way to spend the Holiday. Looks like you all had a wonderful day. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
Thanks for sharing it looks like you all enjoyed yourselves..
