Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks for the good wishes. But I’m having a very ****ty Thanksgiving this year.

A friend died Sunday when his plane crashed. We flew together just two weeks ago when he gave me a lift to pick up my plane out of maintenance. We flew similar aircraft and he had been excited to share the news with me when he upgraded to this plane just a couple of months ago. Great guy, good pilot, bad weather. He was flying a mission transporting rescue dogs from a high kill shelter down south to new foster parents up north when he got into some rough weather and crashed. Amazing number of people knew him and have been sharing their heartbreak.

Tonight I got a call from a friend who was calling from the hospital because he had a stroke last night. Call was cut short because they came to take him to have an MRI, so I have no idea what his prognosis is.

I’m okay, but tremendously bummed that a holiday to celebrate and give thanks joyously has so many people feeling pain and sadness and loss. My heart is heavy as I think of Seuk’s family, and everyone who losses loved ones amidst holiday celebrations, and those experiencing the holidays from a hospital bed. I sincerely hope none of you are among them.

Celebrate when you have the chance. Share your love and appreciation with those you hold dear. You never know what’s around the next corner, and life is fragile and fleeting.

Apologies for being a downer, but life just gave me enough lemons I had to share some.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all you magnificent Bastards and Bastardettes out there.

Tell the people that matter that you love them. Life is too short not to.

No need to apologise. I really hope things get better and no problem sharing what has happened to you and your friends. I hope the next few days or weeks allow you to get through what has happened no matter how tough.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!


N1997n, I follow several rescue groups online and saw that. Your friend is greatly mourned in that community. I’m very sorry for how tragic this stretch has been for you.

I am very sorry to hear that you lost your friend and another one is dealing with health issues. I hope that you get some good news on your sick friend or something that brings a little happiness to you on the holiday.

Thinking of you, man...you've had a hell of a few days and so sorry for your loss. Hope you at least have a decent day today to distract you a little from all this.
 
Happy Thanksgiving all! I have many things to be thankful for, one of which is this great community that I stumbled upon more than 20 years ago.

I wish you all peace and happiness.
 
I'm determining to be thankful and appreciate the last 5 games.

I wait with excitement all year for the season, which flies by so fast. But, I get to soak up the experience with my son - who's turned into a die-hard Pats fan too. And, just like we who grew up in the 80's & 90's with terrible teams, it's important to understand what persevering through the struggle is, so when they finally start to win again, and win a playoff game, it's going to be so appreciated and worthwhile. Here's to the journey, fellas!

Your message is tragic, and an important one. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that soon enough your memories will be of the joyful times that you and your friend had together. And I wish your other friend a speedy and full recovery.

I have been through some difficult times too, and found that even during those, I could find things to be thankful for. I am not preaching to you to do anything, but I hope that you can find some joy in the day.

OK but 80's...two(2) losing seasons, and 90's just the Flutieless first three(3). Parcells & Bledsoe came after that and we were on the rise. Super Bowl appearances in each decade.
 
Pats should play Thxgvg gm every year
