Today I am thankful for all the wonderful things I have: great friends and supportive family, my job and co-workers that I consider friends, a warm home where the bills are paid and there is food in our fridge, 4 furry friends who bring a smile to my face, my crazy husband who loves me despite my faults, and a beautiful baby girl who melts my heart with her big blue eyes. I am thankful for the life that I have, even though it's not what I had ever imagined or planned for. I am thankful for my two beautiful children: one that I held as she fell asleep in my arms tonight; the other who lives on every day in my heart, helping me to be the strong, compassionate, loving and attentive mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend that I am today. Dylan has shown me a side of myself that I never knew existed, and for that, I am truly thankful.
