A Thanksgiving That Almost Didn't Happen

You can't appreciate life unless you look back - I accept that - I used to think that looking back was a way of making an excuse for not looking (moving) forward.

As I sit here, the night before Thanksgiving, waiting for the official day of the holiday season to happen.....I am well aware of how thankful I am this Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for Ron.  I hope we have many more Thanksgivings together.

I am thankful for our family.....loving thankfulness for our family as it grows and blooms.....our children and beautiful grandchildren......and perhaps one day.....great grandchildren.

I'm ready to move forward, and with every milestone: anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, vacations, quiet moments together - I'll try harder - to stop and 'be in that moment'.

We are most thankful for Ron's donor; although, I'm sure we'll never meet, I hope somehow, somewhere, this amazing family will feel our love.  We are thankful for their gift.

Much love to all!
