CA..spare the list the fire. I want to take a few moments of everyone's time and wish you a happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for: My grandson--probably the only one I will have His mother--the ONLY daughter I WILL have. My son--the ONLY son I will have. Their father, my ex--because he's my ex! My parents--for having me Their parents--for having my parents Their parents--for the hardships they've endured. Their parents--for the hardships of a new country, for not giving up, for giving me the opportunity to learn about them. For this list, for the right of freedom of speech, for the right to say "sorry, this doesn't belong to this list, but you DO have others you can choose from", for my job, my husband, my life in America-a legacy I hope to pass along to the many generations to follow. Happy Thanksgiving fellow rooters. And if this isn't totally in line with the list, please excuse--I just feel very thankful on this day. Marie
