You Make Me a Better Person...

This year on Thanksgiving I made a point to let those members of my family that were celebrating together know why I was thankful for them. I started my thoughts with my wonderful husband and used the same format for everyone else. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be to do. I still get choked up when I read them. Must be because I realized how truly special they all are to me and how much I need them.
