I'm thankful for you, because you are so sweet to remember to be thankful for me!!! And that we can (and do) talk about anything and everything. This means we have to be friends forever because we know WAYYYY too much about each other.
I'm thankful for the hubby, kids, parents, home, business, and mostly my relationship with Jesus, for whom redemption in my life was an easy thing even though it was soooo huge to me.
But something new this year that I've realized that I'm thankful for. Some people that I guess I've taken for granted for many years. My nieces and nephews. I've always loved them and been proud of them, but I never really realized how much I wanted a close relationship with each and every one of them. Yes, it has taken loosing one of them to see how important that is to me. So, this year I see more than ever how thankful I am for Angelia (and her hubby Randy and their girls Emory & Jaselyn), Adam (and his wife Christy and their daughter Meagan), Aaron (and his girlfriend Jessie), Jacob, Ryan, Ethan, Ashley, and Nick. I'm thankful for Austin and the ultimate sacrifice that he made on August 3 when he went into that housefire to save what belonged to someone else and didn't come out alive. I'm thankful that through his life and death, we all learned so much about family and its importance. Yes, we've heard people say for years that when we lose someone it makes us appreciate others in our lives, but I think there is really so much to learn from it. Thanks Liz, for letting me express it here.
