Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. It starts with Snoopy and ends in the bathroom and other than watching the pathetic Lions, it's pretty much a perfect day. There's also supposed to be a little something about being thankful, which, to be honest, I've often overlooked.
Sure, I got the whole fortunate to have food on the table thing and being with family and friends instead of alone. And someone, probably my father-in-law, would always say a few heartfelt words to that effect and it would stay with me right up until the first forkful of sweet potatoes.
I've since found my own few sappy words. What I've learned this past year is that there's nothing like the fear of loss to make you fully appreciate life, and that's what I'm thankful for. I'm thankful that the people who I love the most are still here with me today.
