Thanksgiving

Dear Connor & Liam,

 

Happy Thanksgiving to my two precious boys! (a few days late!)  This Thanksgiving, I wanted to make sure to take the time to tell you a little about what I am thankful for...

 

Since it is Thanksgiving, it is completely appropriate to be thankful, but I want you to know that it is so important to always be thankful, not only today.  I am thankful EVERY. DAY. OF. MY. LIFE.

 I am not the best at vocalizing or even putting into written word how thankful I am for all of the blessings in my life.

Everyday I talk to God to thank him, and that is what is most important.

He has blessed me beyond what I deserve and I am forever in his debt.

 

I can't even put into words how thankful I am for the two beautiful children he has given me.
I AM SO THANKFUL FOR YOU, CONNOR & LIAM.

You have changed my life dramatically, and for the better.

You make me a better person, and make me want to be an even better person.

You make me a mother, which is the best role in the world!

 

More than ever, I believe in the power of prayer.

God has answered so many of my prayers in the last year and I know I can never repay him for what he has given me.

 I could never sum up everything I am thank for, but these top the list:

I'm thankful for my two perfect boys.  At one time, I wasn't sure that you, Liam, would make it Earth side, but God has big plans for my perfect boy and I am so thankful you are here.  I am beyond blessed to have you both, Connor and Liam.

I am thankful for my husband, your daddy!  He loves me and you, sweet boys, unconditionally, and we love him too.

I am thankful for my family.  My parents. My siblings. My in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, all of them.

Where would I be without them?

I'm thankful for the 23 years I had on this Earth with my sister.  While the pain still sears me, I am so lucky that God chose me to be her sister.  I so wish you were able to meet her. I have always been so humbled by her selflessness and kindness.  She was an amazing person and I treasure the memories I have of her.

I am thankful for the life God has provided for me... my home, family, education, job, friends, and more.

He has more than met my needs and I am so thankful.

 

I hope that I continue to realize the blessings God gives me and that I am somehow able to pay it forward. I pray for you, Connor and Liam, that you are always able to realize the blessings you have in your life and that you take time to thank God for all he does for you. I pray that you continue to be blessed and are able to live long, healthy, fulfilled lives.

Thankful doesn't even begin to sum it up.

I love you both to the moon and back an infinite number of times!
Love,
Momma
