1) I am thankful for Emma's donor and the donor family. To make the decision to donate your child's organs in your most intense moment of grief would be very difficult. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them. They are the reason that our girl is here to spend this Thanksgiving day with us.
2) My family. My husband, who has been my rock through all of the chaos in our lives. My sister who helps to soften my moods when I get angry. Of course I am very thankful for Miss Emma...but I will get to that. I am also very thankful for the rest of our families...and our extended family (our very close friends)....you have been there for us through everything!!
3) My job. The children in my class and most of their parents are SO wonderful! They are just amazing!
4) For Caringbridge and the ability to "connect" with other families going through times that are not "typical" in parenthood.
5) Last but not least....my beautiful and amazing Emma. I would not be who I am today without you Baby Girl. You are the light that brightens my every day. Your laugh makes my heart melt, and your love for everyone and everything is contagious. Don't ever change a thing about you Baby Girl. You will go so far in life because you are who you are. I love you SO much!!

I, of course, am thankful for my son. Anthony has changed my life in ways that I would never have thought possible.
I am thankful for the technology and medical advancements that allowed my husband to donate to Anthony and save his life.
I am thankful for mothers like you, who understand what it means to worry more than in the typical way. You know what I mean when I freak out over a virus, an ear infection.
Loved this post!!
