What I am truly thankful for!

This has been the hardest Thanksgiving I've ever had. As You all know I lost my dearly beloved mother 2 months ago. She was and is an angel and she meant everything to me and my family. I really wasn't looking forward to the Holidays because just facing each day without her is so difficult and knowing she wasn't going to be there with us at such an important time just broke my heart. But I am thankful for many things and I want everyone to know that:

I am thankful for the short time I was able to spend with my mom, and for all of the happiness she brought to my life and for the AMAZING grandma she was to my kids.

I am thankful for my kids. I have been blessed with amazing kids that bring joy to my life each and everyday. They are so resiliant and they keep me on my toes.

My husband is such a kind and gentle man that would and has done anything imaginable for me, without hesitation. He has so many talents and is always helping people with anything that they need. He never complains about anything and he is sooo good to our kids.

My Dad is an inspiration to me and I am so grateful to have him in my life he is not afraid to show his emotions and he always has sweet sweet memories of mom to share with us.
(I Love You DAD!)

Through this hard time of loosing my mother my brother has been a strength to the entire family. He has been there for me no matter how bad things get. The special messages he leaves me almost on a daily basis to let me know that he loves me - brings a smile to my face.

My sister is such a beautiful person and I'm amazed at the wonderful mother she has become. Charlee took the time to learn many of my moms talents and because of that my daughter still gets her crochetted socks and all of the secret recipes that my mom would cook at Thanksgiving Charlee was able to recreate and help make this Thanksgiving as great as it could be without mom being there, she is so talented and I look up to her in so many ways.

My Inlaws have been so good to my kids and through all of this they have been such a support to mark and I. Just 1 call is all it takes and they are there for us. We love them so much.

I am thankful for all of the wonderful friends and family that I have and for all of the support they gave me and my family when my mother passed away. The entire town was so amazing and all of the kind letters and hugs that we received were just amazing.

I am thankful for the Gospel and I know the knowledge of the wonderful Gosepel plan gives us solace at this time.

Thanks to everyone! I Love You All!
