Thanksgiving Wish
Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 23 November 2006 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
This will be the second year that our son, Robert, a soldier in the US Army, will not be with us for Thanksgiving. It is difficult for him and for us. But as difficult as it is, at least we know that he is safe here in the States. Many soldiers and their families are seperated, and many of those same soldiers are in harms way. My heartfelt thanks goes out to all of the men and women who give so much of themselves to serve this country, and for that, I am truly thankful.
Robert, we love you so much and miss you. I hope you are able to enjoy your Thanksgiving.

This shot was taken at the "History House" in Ft. Hancock in Sandy Hook a few months ago. The History House is a former officer's residence. It has been painstakenly decorated with vintage pieces. I spent a long time speaking with the woman who does the decorating. She is passionate about it and has done a spectacular job. She told us to be sure and return in December because the house will be decorated for Christmas with vintage decorations. I cannot wait to go and see it and of course I'm sure she will be more than happy for me to take lots of pictures.
I chose this shot for today because there was something lonely about it and the empty chair touched me. Of course my son being Army, makes the glass quite appropriate.
Happy Thanksgiving
