10 Things we are Grateful for...

I have found that this month is a really reflective month for us and even some of our family members. A year ago at this time we were in the hospital fearing that we would lose our precious little one due to a miscarriage. A year ago at this time we were also given the news that my Dad had cancer. It is amazing how things can change so quickly and I find that in the midst of all the sadness, pain and sorrow we may feel during these times, we still have so much to be grateful for.
