I have so much to be grateful for this year because my friend Janet was well enough to host Thanksgiving. Last year she was fighting the effects of chemotherapy for the MDS that literally threatened her life. She was not well enough to even think about having Thanksgiving at her home. It just wasn’t Thanksgiving without my friend and her family, who have become like my family. These photos are of her new additions to her family, her grandchildren, Nolan and Bella. Also, Jason’s daughter, Pat. It was a wonderful day.
