Still Thankful #2

One of the things I treasure most is my family.  My children are so precious to me.  They are not perfect – far from it, in fact, just like their mother – but I love them in spite of their imperfections.  They are the ones who can aggravate me by leaving a mess in their room and bring a smile to my face with a handful of dandelions.  They are the ones who step on my feet and hug my neck.  They are the ones who tell me I am pretty when I get out of bed in the morning.  They are the ones for whom I have given up a career.  They are the ones for whom I would give my life to protect.  These are my blessings.
