With this and mind, and Thanksgiving soon arriving here in the US, I welcome you to Flourish's first annual 30 days of Thanksgiving celebration.
I hope that you enjoy reading about all these amazing peoples and that they enjoy their 15 minutes of fame with at dozens (ok, 2) members of the Flourish tribe.
my dear Fiona. This is the surprise relationship story from me - My mom and I were so close, from the time I was a baby. My mom and I grew up together (she was a teenager when I was born). I wanted to be with her, talk to her on the phone, go on vacations with her - I always chose her over my dad. My mom dies; I'm bereft. And then, and this is the miracle part, I see my dad clearly for the first time. You know how when you look at a bright star, you can't see any smaller stars that are near? Once the bright star no longer shines, you see miraculous things. And now my dad and I have a relationship based on just him and me with lots of love. It is a gift for both of us. Mr. Rogers again - “Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else.”
