A time to reflect


Around this time of year I usually look back on the past eleven months and really think about the things that I am truly thankful for. This has been the hardest year of my life. One that has been filled with a great deal of sorrow, so at first trying to find things to be thankful for was a little difficult. I have also learned a lot about myself and the people in my life.
I am Thankful for every moment of the 19 years I had with Stephen. I am thankful I was there at the end and that I was given time to tell my son how much I love him. I am Thankful for my wonderful Husband without whom I would have never made it! I am thankful for my beautiful Sean who makes me smile and who gave me a reason to keep getting up every morning and doing what I do. I am Thankful for my father's never ending support, love and strength even when I was at my weakest. I am so incredibly thankful for my sister Laura who took care of all the details and kept me sane, and for her amazing gift of laughter! I am so Thankful for all the friends and family who stood by me at my darkest hour and who continue to stand by me today. I am a very lucky woman, I am surrounded by love and support 24/7!! I am truly blessed and I need to remember that throughout the year!
