A year ago today (7.15.08) my amazing niece, Whitney, was a mere few minutes from losing her life. Thankfully, she is recovered, alive, and kicking! She is such an important part of our family, and I can't imagine not having her in my life.
Also a year ago today, our home was struck by lightning. Add that to the chaos of the day, not to mention the expenses of replacing the things that were fried. We're still thankful things weren't worse.
Only two days later (7.17.08), our baby dog, Steve, had major surgery. Thankfully, Stevie had a full recovery and (after a few rough days) was back to himself within a couple of weeks.
While Steve was at the pupspital (pup hospital), my mom came over to tell me she needed she needed open heart surgery with bypass. Mom did remarkably well in her surgery only a couple of weeks later, and we are thankful for her full recovery.
There were some more rough patches to the rest of 2008, but we made it through it all. Today I am counting blessings and giving thanks. Oh, and hoping we don't have to go through all of that again!
