I am in awe of how you're choosing gratitude as your response. I think it's the only way forward, but it's gotta be so hard.

Incredibly hard - but you have 2 choices at the end of the day in this situation: Gratitude or Despair. Despair is guaranteed, but it doesnt have to be permanent, but can be for many.

I will forever cherish my 22 years of my son's life. Just like I actively get to cherish my other kids' 20, 16, 13 & 11 years and will continue to help them grow.

I can say, dont try and imagine this - not only does it suck, but it also is impossible to comprehend unless you have gone through it.

So on Thanksgiving and life as a whole, gratitude is the only way to go.
