Thanksgiving is upon us again. This gives me the opportunity to reflect on the things and events in my life I'm really grateful for. This year is especially meaningful because God gave us the gift of life. Amidst our infertility issues, the challenges of having a long-distance marriage, and the once-a-year rendezvous, we were given this rare opportunity to journey through parenthood. At Thanksgiving, our precious angel is 33 weeks old. A few more weeks and we'd get a glimpse of the li'l creature I've been nurturing in my womb.
There is a saying that we should always count our blessings. Let me take this chance to list down all the wonderful things and events that happened this year. All those that we're truly grateful for...
- After a couple of years of trying, and after rounds of medications, God finally heard our prayers and gave us our little angel - Caerwyn Mikhail.
- A relatively easy and uncomplicated pregnancy
- A loving and supporting husband. Though he isn't physically present throughout the pregnancy, I can feel his concern and deep love for me and our baby.
- An over-eager and supportive family who longs for this baby as much as we have.
- An understanding boss who gave me lighter loads and allowed me to take off from time to time due to doctor's appointments, childbirth classes, and the like.
- Good health for the whole family. Earlier this year, I wrote about my dad having been diagnosed with Colon Cancer. With the help of early diagnosis, prevention and prayers, he was able to bounce back.
- A roof above our heads, and food for our stomachs.
- Great friends
- Wonderful teammates
- My roommate, best friend, and investment partner
- A truly productive year in terms of projects and career advancement
- Growing investments
- Answered prayers
- The opportunity to be with my husband this year
- The month-long chance to be with my family and my aunt whom I haven't seen for years
- An uneventful October business release
- Two great performance reviews
- Tenants that have been with us for a year now (hopefully renewing again)
- All 32 years of my life on earth
- Safety for me and my family
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
