I have to play catch up today because I was having way too much fun in Mishawaka yesterday! :)
Day 8 (Friday):
I am thankful for my friend, Valerie! She has been my friend for over 11 years now. She knows me better than any one else. She knows how to handle my moods. She knows how to make me laugh. I love when I get to spend time with her (which is way too rare)! I am thankful that she has found Dave. He makes her happy and she deserves to be happy. Dave is a great guy and I am so glad that I was finally able to meet him!

Val, you are the BEST and I love you!
Day 9 (Today):
As I drove home from Val's this morning, I was thinking about what I was grateful for today. To be honest, I was having a hard time coming up with anything. I was feeling sorry for myself. I was thinking about Val and her new found happiness (which I am very happy about myself!); it made me really miss Ryan. I miss being able to reach across to the passenger seat and hold his hand. I miss being able to look across the room and catch his eye just to get a smile. I miss having someone know exactly what I am thinking just by the look I give. I miss just having him here!
So, I decided that is what I am thankful for. I am thankful that I had someone so special in my life. Someone who wanted to hold my hand in the car. Someone who would smile at me across the room. Someone who could "read my mind" based on the look I was giving. Ryan was a huge blessing in my life that I too often took for granted. I am so thankful that he loved me so much for the short time we had together!

i just want to tell you that it is incredibly inspiring to read as you search for things to be thankful for even on a day when you aren't feeling particularly thankful. thank you for sharing everything you share.
I am so thankful that we get to walk this path of life together. Through all the bumps and smooth pavement, God has been good.
I am thankful for you and the past 11 years. Thank you for coming down and meeting Dave....good times! Love you!
