I’m grateful for all the families who will put differences and hurts aside and will gather together on Thanksgiving to reach out to each other in peace and love.

I’m thankful for my husband’s ex-wife. Years after they had divorced, one day she had her daughter go check on her dad at his cabin, and they got him to the hospital just in time. One day later, the doc said, he wouldn’t have been alive.
Grateful for Judy
The hospital where our twins spent their first three months has a Gratitude Tree in their NICU unit. Our boys are almost two now, and everyday we are grateful to the doctors and nurses at Alta Bates for the miracles they worked with our sons. We like to think the boys are grateful, too, but they sure don’t seem to be expressing it to their favorite nurse in the photo below.
