Giving thanks

Over the past couple of months we have been the recipient of countless hours of service. People have dropped off food, flowers, sent cards, made phone calls and reached out to us in various ways. I have never felt heartache so great, nor the love from others so strong. An important piece to all this service is remembering to say thank you. I have written dozens of thank you cards, emails and offered many verbal thanks to all who have served us. Despite all these efforts, I do not believe I can ever fully repay nor adequately convey my gratitude for people's time and their service rendered. As Thanksgiving is almost upon us, I encourage everyone to hold tightly to the people in your life you are most grateful for and find your own way to give thanks for the many who give so freely to you.
