Happy Thanksgiving!

This year Thanksgiving has a new meaning for me. It will still be a fun day full of food, family, and more food and fun but this year it means so much more. My family has been going through a very difficult time the past few weeks and it has really taught me a lot. I have so many things to be thankful for and I want to share just a few. I am thankful for my parents. I learned just how important they are in my life and my kids lives and how quickly that could be taken from me. When you face a situation where you may not have the chance to see someone again in this life every little detail about them brings on a whole new meaning. I am thankful for my mom and my dad. I am thankful for medicine, technology, and doctors. Without these things my dad would not be here this Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for my husband. Even though he can be a stinker sometimes, like right now, he supports me in everything I do. It's not always easy but he makes it possible. I'm thankful for my kids. I've spent a lot of time at the hospital lately and every time I came home my kids would run to me and give me kisses and hugs. I love them. They are my life. I am thankful for my sister and her family. She has taken on a tremendous amount of work and stress to make sure that my dad can recuperate well. I cannot always be with him because of my kids ages it would be a little hectic, but she has been there for my parents every step. I have a new perspective on things now. Family matters, friends matter, material things do not matter. Remember what's important in your life and give thanks for what you have! Happy Thanksgiving!!
