Deep breath -- so I guess that I will try to at least pretend I am Thankful in the spirit of this particular holiday.
Here we go things that I am Thankful for:
- My husband - he has taken such good care of me and been a rock during the last 6 weeks and it's made me love him even more
- My Mammy (grandmother) she is the person that I can talk to about anything at any time and I love her soo much, and she has been there for me my whole life.
- My job - I know what you are thinking "Her Job?", but yes. I am not stressed out everyday (the job before this I was working 80 hr weeks for almost 4 years and my crackberry let them get in touch with anywhere -- even vancouver when I was on vacation), I work with good people and they are family oriented so they are more understanding about things then places I have worked in the past (see previous explantion)
- Finding this blogging community. I hate knowing that there are so many babylost mama's in the world, but having the support and being able to read what you guys are saying has helped a lot.
- And I cant forget my furbabies. mollee and wylie have been able to make me laugh when not much else has in the last 6 weeks and they love me unconditionally which is always a good thing

All great things to be thankful for. xo
Oh I am soooo dreading the next 6 weeks. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all have specific memories for me....I'm with you...big hugs.
I am dreading this holiday as well. It was the last day I was naive and enjoying my pregnancy. I have so much to be thankful for, but can't help but think about what could have been. Thinking of you.
Wow Ali, love the new blog look...Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving weekend. And happy shopping on Black Friday. Hurray for bargains....Hugs
This is such a tough time of year. It's hard to remind ourselves of what we have to be thankful for, but it is true that we do have a lot of good things in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
The holidays are so funny, aren't they? They are supposed to be a time of joy, but so often, and for so many, they are anything but joyful. I am sorry that this year has been so hard and especially for the loss of Sweet Cady. My heart aches for you, your husband, and your baby girl. I will hope and pray that the coming year brings you more laughter than tears and more happiness than sorrow.
ABSOLUTELY normal to be dreading the holidays! What a wonderful list of gratitude - you made me smile with each. Hoping for a good, peaceful holiday for you!
I am happy that you found such wonderful things to be thankful for. When our Thanksgiving came (I'm in Canada, so back in October), I had a tough time with it. I was supposed to be thankful but I was just angry. Angry that another Thanksgiving has come and gone, and this year I am missing 2 children, not just one.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. *hugs*
I am glad, as difficult as it is, that you were able to find things to be thankful for. It' so easy at this stage of the game to see the glass as completely empty - and we are all missing somebody SO IMPORTANT in our lives - it's tough. Wishing you lots of hugs, strength and peace over the next 6 weeks...
I glad to read that you did find some things to be thankful for. I know its so hard to care about anything now after loosing our babies. Wishing you a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving today, HUGS!
I am quite behind on my blog reading, but I definately dreaded Thanksgiving as much as you. I hope it turned out to be a peaceful day. *hugs*
This time of year is always something I dread. I am sorry for your loss. Just know that you are not alone.
I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!
