I feel like this Tuesday, I have a whole lot to be thankful
for. My dad had a heart attack this past Wed., so I have been back home in Tennessee
since then. It was really scary, but he is OK now.
Obviously, #1 and #2 (in no order), I am thankful for my pops & mom. They are seriously the best parents a kid could have asked for & I’m so happy they are both healthy and still around.
#3. Modern technology. When my dad had the attack, the
doctors didn’t have to open him up. They can insert a stint microscopically in
through the arteries to open them up.
#4. My dad’s resolve
to quit smoking. He been cold turkey since the vent & I’m really proud of
him for quitting. (All of you out there, quit now ! It’s hard, but seriously
imagine trying to wait after 30 more years or after you have something really
scary happen with your heath).
#5- #8. (remember no particular order) A super fantastic family
that all helps support each other. This includes my 2 brothers, my hubs, and my
brother’s fiancĂ©. It’s nice to have people to talk to when times are tough.
#9. A job that lets me leave and I have no fears that it
won’t be here when I return.
#10. Skype, cell phones, and the like. Even though it’s hard
being far away from my family, we are still able to talk and “see” each other
regularly.
I know everyone is always thankful for their family, but it's especially a reminder when something like his happens. So hug your parents today (if you can) and make sure you tell them you love them!
so sorry about the scare with your dad. I am so glad to hear he is ok. nothing is more important than family!
