We Are Thankful


For our oldest child, our spitfire


for her exuberance and zest for life
for her curiosity about everything
for her sense of humor and wit

For our only son


for his deep and undying trust in us
for the hard work he does doggedly every single day
for the lessons he teaches to others

For our baby girl


for the purity of her love
for her warmhearted acceptance of everyone she meets
for her joy winning over her pain

We are grateful that these children are ours
to love, teach, support, guide, protect, and enjoy.
We are grateful that they are healthy, happy, and thriving.
