Thanksgiving - What I Am Thankful for Day 1.

I have so much to be thankful for.  First my family:



Let me introduce you to my family, my Hubby, Stefan, Sr., Aaron to the left, Bryan on the right, and Stefan, Jr in the middle.  Yes, junior is taller than his older brothers. 
 
Aaron and Stefan, Jr., are not mine biologically, they are my gifted babies, but you can't tell me they are not mine.  They are mine, I have raised them since they were 11 and 7, and they have been in my life from 8 and 4.  
 
My sugar boog, is Bryan ("BJ"), is we what we all call him.  But I call him Beetle Juice, love, sweet pea, and there are a dozen more.  This child has taught me so much, he is the love of my life.  God knew exactly what my rugged edges needed to be smoothed out.  Along came BJ, to soften my rough edges and give me strength, purpose, and direction.  He was the best baby, best child, and has turned out to be the most respectful, loving and caring youngman I have ever met.
 
The only one still left at home with us is Stefan, Jr.  Aaron is in U.S. Air Force in San Antonio, Tx, and BJ is off at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona, FL, in his sophmore year, pursuing his B.A. in Air Traffic Management.
 
Last but not least, is the love of my life.  My hubby is a gentle bear.  He can be gruff, but he is not rough, he is loving and caring.  He is a father in the true since of the word.  A man who puts the needs of his family well before his own.  He is constant, he is ultimate, he is my bestfriend.
 
I am very thankful for my family.

    1. Carol, yes, with a few bumps in the road, I have blessed to make it this far. I remember having two 12 year olds in the house. I really miss the laughter. My 43 yearold is the biggest baby of them all. LOL.
