Yesterday, I took my children to the fire department for a field trip. A firefighter showed us around, telling me how my little ones reminded him of his three babies at home.
This morning, my kindergartener was up and dressed, singing, hours before the start back to school, excitedly waiting to see her teacher who she missed over the holidays.
Today, my little sister is going in for surgery. The surgery will involve a lengthy recovery time and the help of a team of therapists.
Tomorrow, a dear friend is having a baby. We’re excitedly wait for his safe and healthy entrance. Her obstetrician will deliver a sweet new little boy into our family and also carefully guard her health in the process.
This year, there are a couple of our family members who require the regular care of home health and hospice nurses. These individuals deal with us at our worst and bring peace into some of our most painful days.
And so for today, I am grateful. For every child’s dream to become something different. For those who give so much, because their influence changes the lives of so many.
Thank you, to our selfless firefighters, our skilled doctors and kind therapists. Thank you to our loving teachers, our gentle hospice and home health nurses…. and more. Thank you to all of those who make it their life’s dream and daily goal, to help us, to save us, to guide us and to ease our way.
I am deeply grateful for each of you.
