What are you thankful for this year?

fluttergirlmoonchild79 · November 2012

I'm thankful that this year has been better than last year. Last year the holidays were horrible, between everything that happened with us and my grandma almost got to meet her great-grandchild in heaven on Christmas.

I'm also thankful for my DH. He's an amazing man and father and because of him and his hard work we've been able to go on 2 vacations this year and also buy a new house.

Can't forget my dog. He's the biggest, sweetest thing ever. He always knows what I need and knows how to make me feel better when I'm having a bad day. He's been amazing through everything and I can't imagine going through this without him. Breaks my heart when he has sad days but he's my bestest buddy!

I'm thankful for having a complication free pregnancy (until the very end) and a complication free physical PP recovery, it gives me hope to do it again. I've learned from my loss groups that there are many people who can't carry a baby for as long as I did. Even though Bradley went to heaven, I got him to grow inside me for 41 weeks and that's an amazing feeling.

I'm thankful for my work for being so supportive and understanding the past 7 weeks.

I'm thankful for my DH. We've grown so much closer and are now connected on a much deeper level.

I'm thankful that I had Devon, if only for a minute. The impact his short life had on mine is incredible.

I'm thankful for the hospital that delivered Devon, as well as their amazing staff. I'm thankful for my OB, who was great through my pregnancy and has been so supportive.

I'm thankful for the amazing support my family, friends and coworkers have provided through all this.

I'm thankful that my husband made it back from his first deployment injury-free. For awhile, it didn't look like that would happen.

I'm thankful that I'm still standing.

Like starburst, I am thankful for a smooth delivery and complication-free recovery. I am thankful for an understanding OB who helped us ttc again as soon as I was physically ready, and I am thankful that we were successful early and that I have had a physically easy rainbow pregnancy so far.

I am thankful that DH and I found our way back to each other after a difficult time about 5 months out from our loss.

I am thankful for a job that, while not exciting or stimulating, provides a good environment with supportive coworkers and a relatively easy workload and that pays the bills so DH could go back to school.

I'm thankful for my boss for being so understanding and supportive, and for my team at work who did an amazing job in my absence. They picked up all of my slack for nearly 6 weeks and were even on point throughout the hurricane. (I work in commercial property management so the impact in our field is exhausting).

I'm thankful that dh and I have bonded more than ever before since our loss, and especially while we had 8 days with no power because of the hurricane. We are a great team and he is an amazing man.

I'm thankful that my sister dropped everything and jumped on a train from Boston to NJ after we lost Ava. She left her own family to come and help mine and I could not have made it through that first week without her.

I'm thankful for my DH. He has been so wonderful and our relationship has grown stronger throughout everything.

I'm thankful for the overwhelming support I've had from friends, family and co-workers.

All of this.

I am thankful for my boys and my dh for being there and keeping Brianna's memory alive.

I am thankful to have this board filled with the greatest women around!

I am thankful for DH. Even though he and I have been arguing more (I think it's the stress of the holidays), we still come back to our love of one another. He makes me crazy, but he still one of my best friends and I love him none the less Smile

Also, I have gotten a lot closer to one of my friends. She has been a great source of comfort and a place for me to vent when DH is not getting what I am going through. I recently found out that her first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 13 weeks. She went on to have more children, but even though our stories are different, we still have that bond.

jrebele · November 2012

First and foremost, I am thankful for my family. My DH has been my rock through this and I feel that our bond is that much stronger. I am thankful that we were able to bring Eva home and that she is healthy and happy. I am thankful that I got to hold Sophia close in my arms even if it was only for a short time. I am especially thankful to our families especially my parents and brother who have been a great source of comfort to DH and I. I am thankful that my brother got to meet Eva before he deploys for Afghanistan this week and will be hoping for his safe return in nine months. Even with so much pain right now I am thankful that I can still find reasons to be thankful this holiday season instead of only just bitter and angry.

Wishing your brother a safe and uneventful deployment. Also wishing you and your family peace while he's away. As the sister of a vet, I know how hard it is on the families when their loved one is deployed - especially over the holidays.
