I’m grateful that my high school sweetheart has grown up with me to become the most supportive partner, kind negotiator, and bewitching date I could ask for…. and it’s helpful to remind myself (and him) of that on these groggy days when three kids (6, 4, & 6 months) interrupted us periodically throughout the night!

Every week we post a photo submitted by one of our readers along with all the happy and thankful comments gathered throughout the week.

To contribute, email your gratitude (a sentence or two would be great) or your favorite photo to Janine at janinek@berkeley.edu.

You can also contribute by commenting at the bottom of this post. Please include: your name if you’d like us to use it and any other info you’d like us to list, e.g., if the “gratitude” is from one of your children, it would be great to know his or her age.
