I started writing a big long schpeel to post and decided it just wasn't me and that I needed to do it from the hip. I guess with the passing of Debora and placing her in the Loving Memory Forum this morning, it really hit home just how fortunate that I really am. Many times now, it could well have been me having my obit posted.
I'm thankful to God for allowing me to continue on this earth regardless of my disabilities.
I'm thankful for family, even if it's only direct. Family is family and being alone and lonely isn't something I could take. I'm also thankful that all members seem to be in good health and pray that it remains that way for years to come.
I'm thankful for having met Hank and creating a friendship with him. He may not think so, but he's my guardian angel. In the few times of crisis that I've had since becoming a member here, he has been instrumental in being the ombudsman, motivator, rallying agent marshaling the troops, and the list goes on and on. He is a true friend that I'm blessed very highly to have met.
I'm thankful for this site and all of it's members. Without all of you, I seriously wouldn't be here today. A few of you of gone above and beyond for me. You know who you are and how very much it's appreciated. There has been what, 3 or 4 times now that I could have been the obit being posted, most recently back in October, but because of your love, help and support, and friendship, I've come through all of it. Some of you are also considered my guardian angels. I apologize to Mary for falling apart on the phone with her after my teeth removal surgery. It never hit me so strong as when I told her that the surgeons said that one more week with those infections and I might very well not have made it. Something has moved each of you to do the things you do and for that, I'm very thankful.
There are many many more things that I could write about, but these few, I certainly want all of you to know before my time does come. It will in it's own good time and whenever that is, I hope I'm ready. I don't know. Guess I just want you all to know how I feel about things and life.
What about you?
