Deviled Eggs....
As I'm sure you all know, The american Holiday ThanksGiving is less than 48 hours away. And Rose, despite her repeated claims that she does not enjoy her status as such is very much a southern girl. And for human femmes of that dispostion it is born and bred into them to , when this particular holiday hits, to enjoy two things. Family and food.
So she is currently in the kitchen, working on a large batch of the aforementioned appatizers. I also discovered something else about the nature of southern females when the holidays roll around. The kitchen is THIER domain, and if you are of the male pursuasion youd better stay out of thier way or be prepared to follow orders.
So basically what I am doing at this point is standing here holding the cake decorateing bag while Rose scoops what i think is left of the egg yolks into it.
"And the point to this is?"
"So we can put it back into the whites." She tells me pointing to the neat rowes of boiled eggs.
In the living room several people are watching the TV, its kind of a tradition in Rose's family to watch the Starwars movies on Thanks giveing. So several are there going through her extras disk on Episode one.
Roddy makes some crack about how many extras can they possibly have on this thing while Misty mans the remote.
I hand the finaly filled bag to rose and spend and few moments watching the group in the other room. I have to admit im glad that they seem to be happy after all that had happened i was thinking for a while that Rose wouldnt be celebrateing any of the holidays.
I turn back around and find Rose stareing out of the window paused in mid squeese.
I dont have to ask I know what she's looking out, the faint glow comming from that part of the woods.
"What's on your mind?"
"Hmmm," She looks up at me, "Oh i was just thinking, about how close i came to not doing any of this. The party the celebration, any of it. I didn't think it was appropriate. Because of my Grandma, and Vector."
"So what made you change your mind?" I ask.
"Because, it would in appropriate to not do it. This is what my Gran' lived for and what Vector Died for. The right to just live and enjoy life. If we didnt have a party, if we didnt take the time to live the life they loved, wed be dishonnoring them both."
"I'm glad you understand that, because your completely right."
I walk over and she sets down her work and puts her arms around me.
Right then Rose's nephew, thats staying here till new years, chooses that moment to come in the back door and mock glare at us as his arms are full of the stuff she sent him out to get.
"Oh would you two STOP!! NO MAKEING OUT IN THE KITCHEN! We have to eat this stuff ya know?" He teases.
"Push off runt!" Rose shoots back. "Or i'll make you lug in more stuff."
He makes a face at her and sets the bags down heading in to the living room.
Its good to see that life goes on. Those who are gone are still with us in our hearts as long as we dont forget them. Those who are still here carry on stronger for what they have learned.
I think Rose maybe feared that this holiday season would be ruined, im glad that she was wrong.

Yes, life does indeed go on.
I hope you have a good Thanksgiving with your family and the nut jobs, Rose. Prime apparently invited Vader over there for Thanksgiving, but he opted out in favor of ours. Gotta introduce him to the family, after all. *sighs*
"No making out in the kitchen." Heh. I've had to tell Maul and Trisha that a time or two.
Have a good Thanksgiving everyone!
