I do feel better now that I have shared this with everyone. There's just been SO MUCH I've been dealing with and it's just so overwhelming to deal with alone - except for my family, of course.

I do have so much that I'm thankful for today and every day. And I've been able to add another one this year. My youngest son at 22 years old had been floundering around for a direction in his life. He has been my main caregiver for these last three years of the OC experience and the many difficulties along the way. He is now about to graduate from CNA training/school and plans to continue on in the medical field, going for further schooling - maybe nursing or physical therapy - while working as a CNA. This is a direct result of our OC experience and I'm so very proud of him. He's really found his niche in this world and thinks he will probably focus on working with disabled kids in some capacity.

Gramma always said that it's easy to thank God for the good stuff. It's the hard times that it's difficult to be thankful for. Here's just one more example of something really bad leading to something so good.

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving,

Lani
