However, today in this rare moment of quiet, I am able to think about all the things I am thankful for, and I think I need to do this more often. I want to consciously remind myself of all the ways we are blessed as a family, and I want to do this every month, not just in November. So here goes...
1. I am thankful for my husband, who stands by me and our daughters through all the ups and downs. I know he loves us all, and I am so, so grateful for him every day! 2. I am thankful for my three amazing daughters. They have taught me so much about love, patience, determination, and courage. Words will never express how much they mean to me! 3. I am thankful for my sisters, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. They have all taught me so much during my life and many have been my rock and support system through all our challenges, tests, procedures and surgeries. I couldn't do it without them and love them so much. 4. I am thankful for the friends, that are like family, and have also been a tremendous support to me and my family. Ladies, I love you too! 5. I am thankful for the friends that I've met in online support groups. While some people don't see the value of Facebook, I do. It allows families, who have similar medical struggles and diagnoses, from all over the world to communicate and support each other. There is one special friend who has three children are similar to mine that I am very thankful for. I would be lost without her support! 6. I am thankful for each new day, that I have learned to keep advocating for my girls and never give up, for the medical team that we currently have that is fighting for my girls as hard as I am, and for all the progress we have made so far. 7. On that note, I am also thankful for the nurse practitioner who nominated our girls for Make A Wish Foundation. I received a voicemail message from Make A Wish Foundation yesterday. Fingers crossed that it's good news! I could go on and on, and I will. I plan to jot down reasons to be thankful each month. Despite the challenges, I know we have many blessings! Hopefully this Thanksgiving you are reminded of all the reasons you are thankful. Wishing you all a happy and blessed Thanksgiving! Thanks for reading!

I am thankful to have you and your sisters and your family in my life. Thankful for the memories in Country Club Hills. Thankful to have been a part of your wedding day. Thankful for those last moments with your mom. Thankful to remain in your life and see what a wonderful mom you are and I know how proud your mom is as she watches over you. I hope if there’s anything you need I can be there to help.
