We had a light-hearted post planned for today, but with so much sadness for all the Haitian people, it didn't seem a good fit for the day. We're thinking of the people affected by the horrible earthquake. Mom and Dad grew up in California and they know how scary and devastating an earthquake can be.It makes you realize that life can change in a moment.
So even though it's been a tough couple of weeks for my parents, it was time to remind them just how lucky we are. I could write a list of all the things that I'm grateful for (Mom and Dad could write a list too), but most of all we are thankful for our little family.
We hope you all have lots of things you can be thankful for on this Thursday.
Fin, you got me all weepy and sentimental. I need to go work on my list. It's a long one.
