I am thankful for my family. With my parents nearby, and two lovely children to call me “Tata,”

I am thankful for the fact that my extended family is what it is: loving, accepting, eclectic, and Southern.

I am thankful that my daughter is only learning how to make a wish, and I am thankful that I live in a country where fulfilling those wishes depends more on the individual than anything else.

I am thankful that my children are well, happy, and silly.

I am thankful that we all help one another, even in the most trivial matters.
And I am thankful I have so much to be thankful about.
