Thanksgiving is almost over and today I have had so many family memories going through my head. The only one that still hurts is pictured above. Tim wanted to learn to carve a turkey, so he went to the guy who was a pro...the former meat cutter, Joe. Joe taught Tim how to carve... using Joe's knives. We brought them along, when we went for dinner. You can see how interested Tim is in how Joe did it. Tim has the bald head, by the way. We spent several Happy Thanksgivings with Tim and his family. Tim was very laid back and so easy to get along with....I learned this, when I married Joe. My kids loved their Dad so deeply. When he got cancer and passed away, after a year....they were devastated. When I decided to get married again, Tim was the first of my kids to accept Joe.I realize now how hard it was for them to take to this new person in their mom's life. It was still so fresh in their minds. Tim knew that Joe wasn't trying to take his Dad's place, but was trying so hard to just be accepted.He and Joe formed a special friendship... quickly. Tim was one of those people who could make you not take yourself so seriously. He saw the fun in life. I miss him always...but especially today.
