I struggled with day 2 because I am so thankful for so many people in my life. When I sat back and tried to narrow it down to just one person, it really made my count my blessings. My father, who has always, and still is right there by my side to lend a hand, or an ear to listen to me when I have a problem. My father has to be one of the most understanding person I know. I am thankful for two loving sisters. I have always looked up to my oldest sister Patti, I admire her many many talents. She is an amazing cook, mother, grandmother, quilter, crafter and a great friend. She has such a great creative spirit that just energizes mine. I admire my other sister Cindi, for her thoughtfulness, strength, sense of humor and her love of shopping!! My brother, Scott, is one of my best friends. When I named my son Christopher Scott, I made a wish that Scott would play a big part in his life - and I got my wish 1,000 times over! My son and my brother are inseperable. They worked all week together and even on weekends, Christopher has to be with his Uncle. I have stepped back many times to thank God for making my wish come true. I have a boyfriend that loves and spoils me like no one else has ever done. He supports my crafting hobby, he has even told me he envys me, because I have a hobby that I am so passionate about. My other blessing in my life was my mother. She stood by me no matter what. When I was upset, she would always take my side and give me advice on what to do. When I came home from work sick and she would see my car in the driveway, she would stop in to see what was the matter and then go home and start a chicken soup and jello for me. She and I had a ritual every year of going to the Bangor flower show in the Spring and she would tell me what all the flowers were and where I could plant them.
So you see, this one was very hard to pin point on just one person when they all mean so much to me. I can honestly say, I am truly blessed and for that I am thankful.
