"Catelyn wanted to run to him,
to kiss his sweet brow,
to kiss his sweet brow,
to wrap him in her arms so tightly
that he would never come to harm ..."
that he would never come to harm ..."

My oldest son, Sam, is home for Thanksgiving. He got here yesterday.
He's a busy guy. He hasn't been home since returning to college in August, and I was really starting to miss him.
We're having a very quiet, very small Thanksgiving Day at home.
No travels. No company. No biggie.
It's what Sam requested. He has been working very hard at his grueling and relentless academic load and needs a chance to chill out and catch his breath before he goes back for the final stretch of the semester and exams.
So last night I cut his hair. He made a pumpkin pie. We went to a couple of stores for a couple of things. I bought him a tire gauge. We ordered pizza. We watched crappy television. Right now he's upstairs, sleeping in.
He's only here for a couple of days, but I'll take what I can get and try to give him what he needs and not bother him with what he doesn't.
Having my whole little family home under one roof is what I'm most thankful for. My house is full, and so is my heart.
Happy Thanksgiving!
