I was worried that it would be hard for my children to play in the backyard, now that it’s all dug up and they can no longer use the swings or the merry-go-round while we relandscape the garden. I shouldn’t have been worried. My four-year-old son said to me today, “I’m so glad that dad…

I am thankful for a little boy who was listening at church, even when I thought he wasn’t. I know he was listening, because the speaker said he was grateful for the prayers that had been made on his behalf. My young son whispered to me, “What’s a bee half?” What are you thankful for…

I am thankful that there are visiting physicians and nurse practitioners in our area who accept Medicare so my very elderly mother won’t have to venture out of the house for primary care this winter. And knowing skilled medical help is just a phone call away is so reassuring.

Today I am thankful that my BFF’s 85-y-o sister has been accepted for a brand new cottage in a senior facility 3 minutes away from my friend, who is her only relative and helps take care of her. She is moving next weekend. Sis is in Hospice. I’m glad her last days will be close to family in a beautiful new home where heat is included in the rent!
I am thankful for a beautiful day and the love of family and friends.
I’m thankful for the sale that let me stock up a bit today and gave me two 15 pound turkeys for the price of one. Everything is in the pantry and freezer and will come in handy these next few months which will be tight for my family. I don’t mean to sound braggy or self righteous but I’m thankful that I had $10 in my pocket to share with a man yesterday who did not have $4 to purchase a prescription that he needed. It was late & the Charities that could help him were closed . I was glad I could do this for him and give him a little extra to catch the bus to the store and back. His sincerity and gratitude made me feel so good.

Love that your son is able to care for his grandfather! I fondly remember “grandma-sitting” for a week while my mom took my grandpa on a trip. We had some great conversations. She’s been gone for 12 years but I miss her dearly, every day.

Aw…cute pic of grandpa and I love his tie! I am grateful that my 94 year old dad will be here for Thanksgiving. I am also thankful that he survived WWII in the Pacific. I don’t think I would be here writing this if he hadn’t:).
Brandy, what a lovely picture! He looks very happy and I am sure your son is having a memorable time together with him. This is your husband’s father then, correct? He lost his wife about 5 years ago now, if I remember right.
