Oh MY: I am so thankful for so many things:
My husband of almost 11 years,
our two beautiful daughters, Lauren, almost 7 and Sydney (LOBPI, just turned 3).
The many friends I have met through this message board.
We have a roof over our head, clothes to wear and food on the table.
All of the hugs, kisses and I love you's from Lauren and Sydney (and hubby too).

The holidays have always been a special time for me and have been made extra special...Our wedding anniversary is December 21. Lauren's birthday is December 11 and Sydney's birthday is November 12.

and of course our families.

I found this saying and I hope no-one minds that I share it here.

"But what I've been mostly reminded of is the importance of knowing we have a place and a purpose in life and good friends to share it with" Doc Cassidy.

With Special Blessings this Holiday Season..

Love
Tami and Darrin, Lauren and Sydney

Thank you, Francine, for reminding us all of what the season is truely about. I'm thankful for so many things, but I guess when I break it all down it ends up so simple. I thank God every night for choosing me and my husband for our two children. Even though we all face adversity every day, there is an overall plan: God chose us for our children for a reason. I thank God for giving me this roller coaster I call life, and all it encompasses.

Here's mine;

I am thankful for my husband of 15 years (my highschool sweatheart)
I am thankful for my 3 children-everyday they amaze me
I am thankful for my new PT job (its helping keeping me sane)
I am thankful for my loving brothers, sisters and mother
and finally being alive and well this Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for:
My wonderful family, my four kids and my darling husband who has loved me all the way through my son's injury, even though sometimes I think he thought I was nuts.

My son's attorney who believed in me and my son enough to defend him in court.


My son's therapists who have helped him so much.

My job that keeps me to busy to dwell on the PAST

My son's doctor's and Surgeons, those wonderful people at TCH who help our kids.

The people on these boards, who always answer my questions....

And I am thankful that the good Lord has given me my son with this awful preventable injury to make me the better person that I am today because of it !!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!

I am thankful for
An understanding husband who supports all the treatment paths we have taken for our son and who is going to support me with my career change.

My friends and family who continue to educate about bpi, and give our family support.

All of the great people involved in Matthew's recovery.

Thankful Melanie made a full recovery and hasn't shown any signs of trouble.

Thankful my employer shows flexability.

Thankful for everyone who has prayed for Matthew.

Thankful to have met so many great people who understand what I'm going through.

I could go on and on so I'll wrap it up by saying that I'm thankful for Life.

I am thankful for my childrens laughter. There is no sweeter sound in the world. I am thankful for everyone's help in getting us through troubled times. I dont know what I would do without UBPN.
Peace, Love, and Hugs

I am VERY thankful that my daughter and I made it home last night (from picking her up from college) as we drove through 5 hours of blizzard weather. How scary!!
