Thanksgiving!

At Church this morning, the mass was all about Thanksgiving (obviously).  As I sat there in tears trying my best to make it through mass, Father John's words started hitting me.  So I sat there and really thought about everything I have to be thankful for this year.  Surprisingly I was able to think of so many, even with this being the worst year of our lives.  I'm thankful that I have the three most beautiful precious children I could have ever asked for.  Their daily hugs and kisses and smiles is what keeps me going most days.  I'm thankful for such an amazing family....on both sides.  They show the kids and I that no matter what happens they will always be there to love and support us!  I'm so thankful for so many amazing friends!  You never realize how many incredible friends you have until something horrible happens.  Then they come and surround you with love and hugs and have been there for me in so many ways!  And I've very thankful for the many years I was able to spend with the love of my life!  I know Chris was my soulmate and I'm so blessed to have really known what love was.  Many people will never find true love, yet I was able to spend 20 wonderful years with my true love!  I also know that one day Chris and I will be together again with our three children here and our two baby angels in heaven.  And that life will never be taken from us.  So looking  back today, I really do have so many wonderful things to be thankful for!
