Thank you God, for my father.  Catholic, husband, father, Navy pilot, Papa.  Tell him how much I miss him.

Thank you God, for my mother.  Stronger than she will ever give herself credit for.  So generous, so adventurous, and such a devoted grandmother.  She is everything to me and my children.

Thank you God, for keeping cancer from taking my brother.  And for helping him to forgive me about that whole Barbie Camper incident.

Thank you God, for my wonderful, creative and brilliant nieces.  I wish I could see them more.

Thank you God, for my boys.  They are so different from each other, yet share so much.  When I need them the most they simply appear.  How have they learned this kind of support at such a young age.

Thank you God, for HER.  MY DAUGHTER.  The one I dreamed about all my life. 

Thank you God, for bringing Manny into our lives.   Help him to feel  his mother’s love even a little bit through me.

Thank you God, for letting me know when it was time to let her go.

Thank you God, for giving me a friend that can make me laugh more than anyone in this world.  Please help us to see eachother more.

Thank you God, for friends who have become the sisters I never had.  Unfailing love and support, forever.

Thank you God, for those stairs.  The ones generations have gone over, and will go over in the future.  This is when I am truly home.

And Thank You God, for reminding me you are in my heart on the occasions I sometimes forget.

What are you thankful for?
