What I'm Thankful for...

This morning Maryanne and Michael got up and took a bike ride together.  She was so excited to be up high on the back of her daddy's bike, and then off they went.  As they rode away I thought about how thankful I am that they get to have this time, that I get to watch them play together and that even now as I write this, I can hear her outside laughing and playing.

It was six months ago this month that Michael and I almost lost this wonderful light in our life.  And as I tell the story over and over again or think about the what ifs and could have beens,  I am thankful for her kisses and her hugs and her silly little laugh and for the fact that she is still just a regular 2 and a half year old with an extraordinary story.  To me she is more amazing now, because I realize what it would be without her, and that I am thankful for.
I wish everyone a wonderful time today with friends and family.  It is important for us all to find those things that make our spirit smile and give thanks for that everyday.
