This Thanksgiving, I'm Thankful for My Parents. [View all]

They both died on January 6, 2021 at age 96, but gave me a solid beginning and support for 75 years in so many ways. They're still helping me, through memories and a solid grounding in what is truly important. Thanks, Mom and Dad!

They taught me to think things through and ask questions. That has seen me through almost everything. I'm thankful not just for what I have, but for learning what is truly of value.
