1. I am thankful for a husband that loves me.

2. I am thankful for my family. I have 11 brothers and sisters, and I am greatful to all of them for one thing or another.

3. I am thankful for my two sons. I have had horrible thoughts, and thinking of them makes me happy again. They make the bad thoughts go away.
