I’m thankful for so many things this year. Among them:
my happy, healthy, silly little girl.
Rockford, my best friend.
my parents, without whom I wouldn’t be here, being who I am and doing what I’m doing.
that God gave us the courage to leave Holland.
that we had a place to which we could return.
my bright and talented little brothers.
my niece and nephews and their unrestrained hugs.
my parents-in-law, with whom I actually enjoy spending the holidays. (I know! Who gets along with their in-laws? I got lucky, I guess.)
my funny, quirky and altogether lovely sisters-in-law.
my equally funny and quirky brother-in-law. I will not call him “lovely” because I don’t think he would appreciate it.
my friends, who I miss mightly but cherish nonetheless.
the Internet, for making it possible to stay in contact with my far-flung friends and family.
This sounds like an award-acceptance speech, doesn’t it? Oh well. I’m going to go make some stuffing or something.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
