Happy Thanksgiving

I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I deeply appreciate all my friends and family that stepped up to get me through this year. It hasn't been easy on anyone. You know who you are.

I would also like to thank all the people involved with the bone marrow drive earlier this year. That was a wonderful thing to do. I can't seem to say enough about all the good things that came into our lives as a result of Leukemia. I've heard people say before that they're thankful for the disease because it changed their outlook on life and made them better people. It taught them to cherish small moments more, and make the best of even the worst situations.

Getting sick and being thrown to the floor like that will teach you 2 things:

1) How strong you are

2) Who cares about you the most and who is willing to step up to help

I would need pages and pages of text to name all the people who came together to make a difference. I'll never be thankful for getting Leukemia. It destroyed my life for nearly a year. But I'll always be thankful for what came as a result of it. I find serenity in that fact. I find peace there. Because there is what I'm thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
