Thankful

Its hard to express just how thankful we are to be home and healthy this Thanksgiving.   We are also thankful to each of you who have supported us, loved us and prayed for us.  We are so blessed.

While we have so much to be thankful for we are also thinking of the many families that are struggling this holiday season.  We are thinking of those families that are spending Thanksgiving away from their loved ones, in the hospital, and those struggling to find joy this holiday season.

We are also thankful to all the people who are away from their families because they are serving our community.  Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, firemen, police officers, soldiers, and others that serve.  We were in the hospital for many many holidays last year and while it was difficult, some of our best memories from our hospital stay were those holidays.  The doctors, nurses and staff were so warm, thoughtful and caring despite the fact that they were away from their own families.

We always were surprised with a card, sign or gift "from" Virginia on holidays.  This is the one of the  ones that Virginia's nurses helped her with last Thanksgiving.  I will be recreating this same craft with her later today.  Ill update the post with new pictures.
