This year's Thanksgiving was different for many people. For late actor Nick Cordero's wife, fitness trainer Amanda Kloots, this Thanksgiving symbolized her first Thanksgiving without her late husband around. She wrote on Instagram:

"It would be very easy to go into this Thanksgiving week counting my losses but I'm choosing to count my blessings. This guy is at the top of my list ?"

Kloots revealed that she rercently came across a passage that talks about how she should appreciate the little things that God gives her everyday. She would collect those little things one by one, and at the end of the day, she would find that she has a beautiful bouquet.

His wispy blonde locks framed his face while his vibrant big cute eyes focused in the upward direction. The young boy was captured hanging on to green monkey bars as he stared off into space.

Elvis was too precious to look at, and Kloots' fans were touched by the little boy and her heartfelt words. Comments came flooding in as they praised her for being so strong and positive. Cordero would be proud.

The broadway actor's wife recently revealed that even after his death, she and Elvis still include him in their daily routine.

Every day, she and Elvis honored Cordero by starting their mornings by playing some of his music. Every night, before they went to bed, they would look at pictures of him.

With Thanksgiving out of the way, Kloots and her little one is now looking forward to Christmas. Again, their first without Cordero. The fitness trainer revealed that they have, in fact, started preparing.

Early in November, she took to Instagram with a photo of her Christmas tree and explained in the caption that she hopes to make her home festive enough before she visits her family in Ohio for the holiday.

Being surrounded by family and warmth would be great for both mother and son, and as they make their way through the days, their memories of Cordero will keep them strong.
