I love the holiday season and all that comes with it. However, I find that I really miss my family this time of year. I really miss my parents and my little brother and sister. I wanted to go to my parents house for Thanksgiving so badly but it is just not possible right now. They live too far for me to travel with my ten month old son. He just hates being in the car. You can mention the word "car" and he begins getting stressed. He cries so hard he begins gagging himself on the way to the doctor's office, forty-five minutes away! I can not imagine driving for seven hours! I am going to go to my grandmother's house, one hour away, though. My daughter can sit in the back seat next to the baby to try and keep him occupied and calm. My husband will drive down and join us for Thanksgiving dinner. My grandmother was going to be alone this Thanksgiving so I am glad I will be there with her. Its a smaller family gathering than I would like but I do cherish the time I have with my grandmother. I'm thankful for the time with any of my family but I'll still be missing my parents and siblings.
