If you've read this blog for any length of time, you'll know that I'm huge on expressing gratitude for my life's blessings. I honestly believe that there is something to be thankful for in every situation, good or bad. Looking back at the posts I've written and the life that I've lived, this year has to have been the best of all twenty-seven. God has left me so fulfilled - so many of my dreams, my wishes, my hopes and wants have come to fruition and my heart is so very full.
Thankfully...
Six years ago I woke up. I've woken up every day since.
Six years ago I was also bald and sick, but still made it to this day.
Four years ago I had a spot, got 'knifed, clung to my life and was Whippled. It was tough, but I am tougher.
Almost three years ago I lost a huge chunk of my heart, but today I've healed.
Two years ago I got to see the end, and I'm still here today witnessing many new beginnings.
A year ago we shared this with you all, and this morning he smiled at me and pulled my hair with his chubby, sweaty fingers.
Five months ago we met our boy and he had his first diaper change. Today this little monkey dances all over our hearts.
I have never been more thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
Happy Thanksgiving, Violet! :D
