I must admit that I've been sheltered in my life. I have little experience with how cruel life can be... This makes me thankful! Although my life isn't perfect and my past has a few bumps, it's been pretty great. My parents love me unconditionally and continue to protect me from evil doers. I can never repay them for the life they gave me. I am also thankful for the people that have left me. Without the memories, my life would be far less interesting. And then there's my little sister, the spirited one. Although she's young, she still has a way of putting things into perspective for me. The newest addition is my husband, Doug. He has fought for me in my darkest days. I've never seen anyone so determined. Without him, I would crumble. Doug carries me through my sorrow and he laughs on my sunny days. He even serves me coffee every single morning (the best part of waking up)!
I also want to thank all the thousands of people keeping me safe at home every day and the families that are sometimes sacrificed for this luxury. I couldn't walk a mile in their shoes. I have things and am able to live an easy life. The people who make this possible aren't celebrated as they should. This is for you! I eat well, sleep comfortably, speak easily, pray often, and live selfishly. What would my little world be like if these people decided I wasn't worth it? Would I even be able to cope with a life less comfortable? In the end, I hope the people that make my life possible feel the immense gratitude I have for what they do.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
