Three for Thanksgiving in November

It’s November 1.  My 30 day project this month has to do with Thanksgiving.  Each day, I’ll write about three things I am grateful for.

Let’s begin with family:

1. My nuclear family - my wife, who’s an amazingly smart, fun person with an incredible flair for business.  My daughter, who is truly the light in my day.
2. My parents, whom I still have in my life.  This includes my biological father, my step-father (a retired US Marine who’s tough-as-nails and caring to the extreme at the same time), and my mother, who not only gave me life but also made sure I got every chance at success, right up until I became an adult.
3. My grandparents.  I lost my paternal grandfather to suicide very early in life.  The remaining three were with me until very recently.  My mother’s father, the last to go, died on my birthday last year, December 21, 2016.

Good start.
