Thankful

I am thankful for all the prayers you have prayed for David Lange and our family. He has had a good day with his new heart — Got his breathing tube removed and started the first day of rehab.  
I am thankful for all the well trained and kind medical people who made this whole thing happen.  
I am thankful that Russ just happened to be in Philadelphia to help his family and share in the burden of waiting and supporting each other.
I am thankful for the donor and his family and their generosity during their time of sorrow.
I am thankful for all the kind words of support I received from friends and blog readers.
I am thankful that I don’t have such blog fodder everyday, or every month or even every year. I appreciate those who said yesterday’s blog was my best writing yet and I hope never to have anything ever again like that to write about.
I am thankful for my health and the health the rest of the family enjoys and I promise not to take any of it for granted.
I am thankful lunch with friends and a good walk in the cold air today to make life “normal.”
I am thankful that Carter had her best scoring basketball game ever on Varsity to make the day anything but normal.
I am thankful that I feel God smiling.
