A day to be thankful...

Happy Thanksgiving! I figured I would take a few minutes and get in on the "I am thankful for" bandwagon, although I may be a little late.

It was pointed out to me a couple days ago, by a customer at work, that the only thing I would probably be thankful for this year was that the year was almost over. I smiled and nodded, and then what they said actually sank in. Once the shock wore off, I made sure they knew I had more than enough to be thankful for! So here is a list... In no particular order ;-)

- Mark - Where do I start! This man has been my rock! He has been there for me now matter how crazy and bitchy I have been. And I promise, I have had my crazy moments! He has stepped up and helped with Jai, and helped around the house. Not that he didn't cook before, but he cooked almost every night for 2 months, lol. He always knows if I am having a bad day and lets me know it's ok to have bad days. And when I do have those days, he does anything he can to make it better and help me through it.

- My Family - I have such and amazing family! They have all come together to be a support system for me. They have been chauffeurs, housekeepers, cooks, and even babysitters. I never went to a doctors appointment by myself, unless I wanted to. Matter of fact, I had to spread out my appts between them because everyone wanted to help! They even went as far as to set up a benefit garage sale to help me pay some of my medical bills! They gathered up stuff for days!! We even have enough stuff left over to have another sale!

- My Friends - I have awesome friends! They have been there every step of the way, from organizing fundraisers to shaving their heads!!! They are always there and ready to do anything they can to help, or to just lend an ear if I need it.

So I do know that I have SO much to be thankful for! Maybe having cancer isn't something you are actually thankful for, but it does make you truly appreciate everything that you do have.
