I recall one of your favorite holidays was Thanksgiving, You always enjoyed getting up very, very, early at mom's and dad's house and start the cooking... you made the best salads, the best platters ever.... When all your sisters came over, everything was all set, mom would tell your 6 sisters, with pride in her eyes, As long as I have Sammy in the kitchen with me, I don't need any of you.. we would come over you have drinks ready for us... The best is when we do our annual secret Santa, you were always fair, one year we would start old to young, next year young to old... you treated us all equally, you would be the last one to eat. You would make sure everyone ate first... I don't know how we are going to deal with Thanksgiving 2013.... Holidays are going to be very difficult for us all...
