Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving.  It's a big holiday.  But it's not just a holiday.  It happens all the time.  On thanksgiving, as I reflected on this last year, what I was most thankful for, was the people, the strangers, the friends, the family, who all in one way or another have helped Christopher.  Have cared for him, shown love for him.  There have been friends and strangers alike, that have donated to his cause.  For no reason.  And I'm not talking small donations either.  That is thanksgiving.  Again, today I'm thankful, and moved by events that have simply occurred over the last two days.  We are doing yet, another fundraiser (they seem to be something so easy to do).  And a friend posted in a local group about a fundraiser yesterday.  Mind you, I've posted a few fundraisers in there, but she posted his picture yesterday and well no one can resist his face.  Well, a news reporter saw the post.  He did some digging. And now tonight, Christophers story is on the air.  In front of thousands of people. This morning I had a child who had gotten sick from pain meds in our van, and tonight, a news reporter was at our house doing an interview.  It's been a whirlwind day, and it didn't start out great. But it's ending really well. And I am very thankful!  Thanks giving.  I'm so thankful for those who are willing to help a little boy and a fight for his life.  Words will never be able to express my thanksgiving.
