I am thankful for...
* having my grandma for 25 wonderful years, 23 more than we expected. She was there to see me graduate from high school and college, for my softball games, to see me coach in the state semi-finals, and all the ordinary moments. She was my rock and I miss her more than words can say.
* still having my grandpa here with us. While my grandma was the catalyst for our family, my grandpa is the glue that holds us together.
* my wonderful friends, both old and new, who have all become an extended family to me and have given me a shoulder to lean on when I couldnt stand on my own.
* a job with wonderful coworkers who make every day an adventure.
* the love of greyhounds, even though theyre not mine. The soulful eyes and long needle noses never cease to make me smile.
* having known Coy and Gus, even though it was only for a short time.
* my wonderful family, I dont know how I would have made it through this fall with out them.
