Tragedy on Christmas Day

Shortly after my sister's and their families arrived at my parents house, my twin sister's husband got a call from his family in Wisconsin. His mother was admitted to the hospital this morning. Only a little while later the call came in...his mother died.

It's times like this that I reflect on my family and my life. I am ever so grateful for the family I have. I don't know what I would do without my wife and kids.

As I sit here and ponder things, I think about what others are going through this Christmas. I have several friends that are having difficulty with the holidays this year. I am thankful for my family. I am thankful for Sara Beth. I am thankful for Joseph, Kallsen and Parker. I am thankful for my parents and my sisters. I am thankful for the people I work with.
