1. I am grateful for my grandmother. I have developed such a close relationship with her and I couldn't imagine my life without her. Transitioning to motherhood isn't always easy, but I feel so fortunate to have her around to help.
2. I am thankful for my mother. We have always been close, even through the dreaded teen years when she wanted to kill me! :) Our relationship has entered a new stage now that I am a mom. I appreciate her so much more! She sacrificed so much for me and my brother, staying home to raise us. Having been an at home mom for 15 months I know how difficult this is and I thank her for that!
3. I am grateful for my health. I have dealt with illnesses in my life but have be fortunate to come thru it to the other side. I have my days where the pain seems almost unbearable, but I feel lucky that I don't have cancer or a deadly disease for which there is no cure.
4. I am thankful for my life. I have had times where I didn't value it and took for granted all that I have. But looking at the people in my life and the life I have been privileged to lead, I know God has smiled on me.
5. I am grateful for my time I had with my grandfather. I truly felt he was taken too soon. I was angry for a while because he was not able to meet his first great grandchild, his namesake. But as Jayden grows, he recognizes grandpa's picture more and more, and I realize they have met. I know he watches over Jayden and I can't think of any better person to guard my son!
