Oh, ERIN! Thanks for sharing Sammy's waking comment and the Joshua verse that fits it so well. We expect to have a wonderful day--our first celebrating with Mom at her assisted living facility--thanking God for the amazing ways He's blessed us this year. She loves her new home, her new freedoms (from cleaning and cooking, for instance), and that we can come to HER house again for holiday dinner.
You and your family are one of the blessings in my year. Thank you so much for the choices you make that remind us where our own priorities should be.
