- Thankful to be watching Tuesday cuddled up in Spencer’s lap.
- Thankful to able to watch Piper dancing to the Macy’s Day Parade.
- Thankful that Axel is still innocent enough to run in to the room, butt naked, so he can dance.
- Thankful for the pecan pie that the ever talented and darling Charley baked us last night.
- A good cup of coffee.
I know, it’s not much, but it’s still early. I’ll continue to post with the mundane as the day goes on. Aside from being eternally thankful to God for Tuesday’s life, I’m thankful for the ordinary, simple things.
* If you’re watching the Parade, did you happen to notice the St. Jude’s commercial with the cute, little bald guy? Neuroblastoma? I bet not. We would have probably missed it last year too. Here, we all froze for a minute. I cried. In fact, I’m still crying. It’s going to be one of those days.
6. Thankful for the thousands of people that just heard the word Neuroblastoma and saw the face of pediatric cancer. For those of you that missed it, here is another face of pediatric cancer.

I am so thankful that God brought you & Tuesday (and Miss Piper, of course) into my life. Thankful that Tuesday has renewed my faith in God & humanity and made my foundation that much stronger. Thankful that Tuesday is doing so incredibly well and thankful that I KNOW that God has a huge plan in store for Tuesday.

I love this post, I recently did one too about trying to remember the little things…it helps 🙂
I am so thankful to know you and that you are able to share your family’s journey with us all. I have already learned so much.
Happy Thanksgiving!
How can you not be thankful when you look into Tuesday’s and all the other kids faces and know that they belong to you and Charley. How thankful are me and Uncle Jim that we are a part of that family too. We are so very proud of all of you and the love you have for each other. We had dinner with Uncle Jim’s family today and we all said how thankful we were for Tuesday and that she is doing so well.You all have touched so many lives and for that we are also thankful. We love you more than you know.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Love,
Aunt SuSu and Uncle JIm
Happy Thanksgiving beautiful lady. I’m so happy that you are all together and that Tuesday has her mother’s spirit which enabled her to be so strong and fight.
I’m so thankful to have you and your family in my life.
Love to you all.
More than anything, your post brought tears. May your family be so blessed and may you look back on Thanksgiving 2009 to a great year.
Glad you had a “normal” Thanksgiving JK. You deserve a little normal!
Happy Thanksgiving to your family! I am thankful you got to spend the holidays together and though I know that there is still a long road ahead that for now, Tuesday has beaten cancer and I am ever thankful that I have gotten to know you and your precious family!
Many Blessings to you and yours!

You have a beautiful family, and such a miracle family at that. Just reading about your miracle little girl has renewed my faith in God, and realize that I do have a lot to be thankful for. I love the part about kid things all over the floor, its true here. I was glad to hear that things went so well for Tuesday! I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers everyday!

you all are one thing to be thankful for this year
Yeah to having so much to be thankful for right now!!!
I am thankful to read this post and see you had a normal day. Normal can be wonderful
I have been reading through your archives tonight trying to learn your story. I am praying for your daughter and your family. I have added the button to my blog so more people can pray for her.
Can I ask how you found out? Was she ill? Cancer is just so unfair.
And as a mother I cannot even imagine what you are going through.
Many, many prayers are coming your way.
I’m in tears!
