I don't normally do the whole whatever days of being thankful stuff, since I am thankful every day of the year, but with my other half not coming home until a couple days before Thanksgiving I thought it might be nice to remind myself in written form,and to keep me positive on the days I don't want to be.
SOOOO here we go......
First I have to start with my grandparents, for without them I wouldn't have my wonderful mom and I would not be. They are my biggest fans, supporters, critics, and all around two of the most wonderful people I think this world has to offer. They have taught me so many wonderful things in life and have helped me through too many hard times to keep track of. They will always be my second home, always. They showed me that real love is possible and that I do deserve it. They have given me values and morals that we are now instilling in our own child. They are amazing.
Next, My lovely Mother who brought me into this world and has been such a strong and loving mother to my brother and I. She is truly a selfless being, and gives her time and energy to everyone. A woman who at times has wanted to cry but kept a cheerful personality and a warm smile upon her face. She has Been my best friend, my worst enemy (teenage years), the perfect grandparent to my wonderful son, and a great family member and friend to everyone that she knows. She is smart, resilient,forgiving, beautiful, tenderhearted, strong willed,and I am so thankful and grateful for her.
My super awesome brother, has the kindest most gentle soul of anybody I know, he loves his family and would do anything to make them feel safe. There was a time I wouldn't sleep in my own home (just couldn't do it), he helped me move out every single piece of furniture and helped paint so that I would feel more comfortable....he's that guy. I will always see him that way warm, gentle and protective.
Now onto my darling Christopher, who I could write a whole book on how thankful I am to have him in my life. He is the most amazing man in the world (I will always stand by that) The most perfect partner a woman could ask for and the most amazing father to our wonderful little boy. Did I mention he works his butt off so I can be a stay at home mom....super awesome points for that. He loves me unconditionally doesn't matter if I"m in a bad mood, look a mess, out of shape, or I have it all together and am dressed to the nines, hair and makeup done. I can't really say that I've had that in someone before, to love me so much for just being me.
My perfect, amazing, wonderful, fun smart, loving, super totally awesome cool son. You have changed my life in so many ways for the better. Everyday I am learning from you just as much if not more than you are from me. You and your daddy make me want to be a better woman every single day. You have given my life so much light and purpose. I love the little boy you are becoming and can't wait to see the man you will be someday. You completed my life the day I found out you were in my tummy. You have given me the greatest love in the world and I am thankful for you always.
My family and friends (who are like family) and all the wonderful new friends that Chris has introduced me too. What a splendid group of people who love to get together and do things.Who are there to help you in a bind. who treat our kid like he was their own. for laughter and fun. For watching good things happen in each other's lives. For the two fantastic people who are the prince's godparents and their families who are such a nice addition to ours. I am thankful for you everyday.
My Inlaws,are probably the best someone could wish for. They love me as if I were their own, and are so involved with our son. From meeting me in the hospital to hang out (false labor) to being their the day he was born and every day since then you rock...honestly you do.For letting us stay with you when Chris had to train for four months, thank you for being patient with your house being taken over by the two of us,we are so grateful to you for allowing us to stay. To the aunts and uncles our son has on that side of the family, they are great and are so good with our little one.
so there you have it week one.....all of the wonderful people that I have in my life
