We hosted Thanksgiving dinner at our house. The Tang side came over with lots of food and giggles. All the kids are growing up tall and fast. They played Exploding Kittens and Wii. After dinner, we took a big plate over to my Mom and Dad at the hospital and spent some time with them.

I’m thankful for many things this year. I’m thankful for my wife and kids. The kids are growing so tall this year. M is filling out all her college applications. Next year will be very different for her, and for us. I’m thankful the kids are enjoying Mosaic Youth. I’m thankful they have good friends. I’m thankful for Irene’s love and support, everyday. I’m thankful for my Mom and Dad. Even though the recovery for my Mom is a long and bumpy road, it’s been good to see them everyday. I’m lucky to be the one to cheer them up and love and support them. I’m thankful for my friends that keep me sane and in pretty good shape, by dragging me along crazy triathlon adventures.
