Thankful Thursday

It’s Thursday again, and time for another edition of Thankful Thursday.

Here we go again, bringing back the goodness that y’all have come to know and love…and I am hoping, miss.

I looked back through my blog, and can’t believe that I never even posted a simple Thankful Thursday post after Owain’s surgery. How did that happen? How did I just lose 6 months? How did I go from rejoicing over Owain’s successful Fontan procedure, to mourning over the loss of my Dad?

How is it that I can even face another day?

For these things, I have created Thankful Thursday. For these things, I am struggling to find normalcy in my otherwise perfectly chaotic life. For these things I am forcing myself to bring back Thankful Thursday when I have been avoiding it all day.

I am not going to post a link up today, I can’t seem to get that motivated. You can count on it for next week, so you better be ready.

Today I am Thankful for many things…

For the amazing team of doctors, pediatric cardiologists, and his surgeons, who have been caring for his heart for the past 3 1/2 years, I am Thankful for everything they have done to give me my precious little boy.

For every moment I ever spent with my father, I am Thankful for all of the wonderful times and regretful for the not so good ones.

For my extended family who willingly took on my 5 children so I could spend the final weeks of my Dad’s life in the hospital with him, my Mom & my Brother, I am Thankful for a loving family.

I am Thankful for my 5 children who put up with me and do the best they can to try to understand what is going on around them.

And I am Thankful for all of you and your kind, encouraging, heartfelt words. Thank You.

While I am not doing a link up today, I would love to hear what you are Thankful For Today. Please leave a comment below and share.
