I thank God for my family — especially Andrew & Rachel on their birthday weekend — & friends. I thank God for my continued recovery & wish for it to continue smoothly. I thank God for the continued support & love I get from my family — especially Andrew & mom — & friends — especially the Sistas — & even complete strangers throughout the world. I pray that Rachel & my Thanksgiving story will help other women facing a diagnosis like mine.

I pray that all people in the world will open their eyes & hearts to the wonderful gift of life & give thanks for life even when things look desperate.

Thankful to live in a country that was born by Christians who wisely allowed for the correction of our sinful ways with the voting power of the people.

Thankful that God sees it fit to continue to send new generations so that we may pass on His teachings such that laws involving the loss of human dignity might be overturned.

Thankful for my family, extended family, close friends and far friends.

Thankful for the Church and the Eucharist. ~ Adrienne
