It almost feels like it would be far to easy to write about what we have to give thanks for this year. Many of the things are obvious and nearly all revolve around our daughter, Emiko. The remainder would be for friends and family.
On the drive home last night, my friend and officiating colleague and I had a conversation about this. And we touched upon many of the things that strike us as unfair in life. We are lucky and thankful for our children but we spoke of good friends who would be fantastic parents and are unable to conceive. Not to mention the hoops they have to jump through in order to be adoptive parents.
My suggesting for this Turkey Day (or National Gluttony Day) is to slow down. Don't rush a thing today but take stock in the family and the friends we are all so lucky to have. We have struggles and stresses on a daily basis and we often rush through every day and lose sight of the fantastic miracles that surround us.
Happy Thanksgiving.
All of our love,
Seth, Hope, Emi and Gibson
