Gratitude - Riverton,WY

Today I am grateful for three healthy beautiful children.

My boss came in and told me about a family who lost thier first of three children to cystic fibrosis at age 13 and now their second child also with CF who is 16 is not expected to last the rest of the week. I can't imagine losing one child but 2 out of three...
Update....My boss sent me an email before lunch to let me know the 16 year old passed away this a.m. Can't wait to go home and kiss my kids.

Too many things to mention! What an awesome way to start my Mamapedia day!

Today, I am grateful for chemotherapy and medical advances that will treat my friend of 25 years for leukemia. She was diagnosed last week.

My mother lost a sister to leukemia at the age of 8. There was nothing they could "do" for her back then in the 1940/1950s.

I'm grateful for a loving husband (who still drives me nuts!!)
three children that have given me so much in life
two parents who still love each other and have been happily married for over 50 years - good times and bad!
A brother and a sister who I can laugh with
Our soldiers and troops who sacrifice daily for our freedoms
A roof over my head, food in my belly and clothes on my back
The friends I have - they have given me sooo much over the years...
God - for without Him nothing would be possible!!!

That we have health insurance, I have a big Dr. appointment with rheumatologist today. That my wife is fortunate to work in the career she went to school for. And that we are preparing for our family to be here on Thursday.

I looked at everyone's answers before wiring and I agree with all of them - great answers. I specially am grateful for my families. They mean alot.
