As it happened, the finish date had turned out to be the week before Thanksgiving, but we'd already decided our first one together should be a private occasion with my parents and Kayden. It was an emotional time for all of us, and our third one without Martin and Adam.
For a long time, I'd struggled for something to be thankful for after God had been so cruel in destroying my fabulous family. That Thanksgiving was as perfect as it could be without my missing my brothers. I spared a thought for Ziggy then too, because I'd loved him and missed the friend he'd been to me as well.
