Auntie EM - No matter what our life experiences are, no matter what challenges we are asked to endure, no matter what heartache or joy we have to pass through, I believe we all have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for strong faithful loving women such as yourself who show us all how to go through hard things and still Love the Lord. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Mary from SLC Utah
