Goodness, it’s been an awful long time since I posted, and while I have so much for which I am thankful these past few months, tonight was one of those nights that inspired gratitude just in its simplicity.
Donovon didn’t feel like cooking so we opted for one of our favorite places for take-out, Chuy’s. But instead of calling it in, we decided to go to the restaurant, which is something we rarely do as a family on a weeknight.
As we were eating our dinner, I took a moment to absorb and enjoy our conversation and our time together. Alexa is now 20 and will graduate college in less than 2 years and move to NYC. Family dinners with all four of us will happen less and less often. These are the moments that I refuse to take for granted – the love, the happiness, the laughter over a simple meal.
Tonight, I’m grateful for dinner with my family.
