Day 13/30 – One year ago, our eldest son married the perfect woman for him. The marriage gifting us with an amazing daughter (Lauren). They sailed through that first year of marriage in an admirable fashion not because it was easy, but because of their love for each other. What a gift for a parent to watch!

While there are times I wish they lived super close to me (they are across the country), I am so thankful they found a place that is ideal for them. And I’m also really thankful that we can travel and visit them a few times of year.

• For November (the month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US), I’m trying to blog about something for which I’m thankful for each day of the month.
