November 28. 2009

From one of Gene's many legal pads/notebooks.

Thur  11-28-02  Thanksgiving

I am thankful for God's love - He loved me before I knew Him.
For my Father and Mother who gave me life and cared for me. 
For my sisters who still love me.
For my wife, Emily, who loves me and is really an angel in disguise.
For my children who honor and cherish their parents and for their great work ethic.
For my grandchildren who are really grand.
For my extended family who also nutured me and loves me.
For loving friends who care.
For my country and my country's forefathers who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for the cause of freedom and for creating a nation that embodies the highest of principles and defined great expectations from its citizens.
Personally I thank you for the honor of serving in the armed forces of that country in time of war.
Finally, I thank you for a home
For warmth in winter and for food to strengthen my body.
Let us all bow our hearts to God for the bountiful blessings you have bestowed upon each one of us.
