Last Thanksgiving Thought

For the faithful readers, you may have thought that I neglected someone to be thankful for; however, I really chose to give him a full day: Mr. Bennett, Baby B. Netto, Baby Boy... Bennett Alexander Fry, my nephew, was born June 2 so this is his first Thanksgiving. The past five and a half months have been extraordinary. He has changed so much. He went from a tiny six pounds smooshy ball of cuddles to an eighteen pound wiggly, smiley, laughing, rolling ball of joy. Bennett has taught me what unconditional love is. He has given me a reason to live when I was ready to give up. He has given me the inspiration and strength I need to get well. Bennett is why I have researched everything I can about what I can do to make my kidneys better. Being an aunt is the coolest, most important thing I have ever done. I am thankful that a life that has barely begun can change a life so much. I am thankful that his parents share him with me. I am extremely grateful that God brought this little man into my life at a point that my heart truly needed him.
