Sometimes something that seems so terrible when it's happening can give us so much to give thanks for once it's over. On the fourth of July, I was woken up by a phone call telling me that my dad had been taken to the ER with chest pains. I was immediately having flashbacks to that day almost two years ago when we nearly lost him to a heart attack before he underwent a triple bypass. Fortunately, it wasn't a heart attack this time. His heart cath did show a blockage in the fourth artery, which they were able to open with a stint. He's now home and recovering well. And if that isn't something to be thankful for - I don't know what is!
