Am I Thankful? Yes I Am!

Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US, when families get together, eat turkey and reflect on what they are thankful for.

I'm thankful that when I called my mom, who has Alzheimer's Disease, I got her to stop crying by talking about my daughter Becca.  Becca  has Autism and cannot talk. When I spoke sadly about this, my mom stopped crying to remind me that Becca is a wonderful girl.

And Becca used her Assistive Communication Device to say "Turkey" without any prompting. Becca is a wonderful girl, and I have a wonderful mother.

Thanks, God!
