She only worked on it for a few<br />day...5, 6 days. When she pasted...two years ago, my Dad has such worries about if<br />had been a good husband, had he made her happy, after 61 years of Marriage was she <br />happy she had married hiim, had he take well enough care of her. Even though I kept telling<br />him..yes he had and all the things she had told me of how thankful she was to have him as her<br />husband. It did not seem to mean much to him. One day I came across her gratitude book..<br /><br /> And on every page his name was there...or/and something they had done with each other<br />that day and how she had enjoyed her time with him. Of course I run and showed him it.<br />Nothing gave him more joy and still does two years later for him to take out that small book and <br />read those few dated pages of how she was grateful for him...her husband Frank. <br /><br />Writting our thoughts and how blessed we are to have God, our familes, friends and the<br />blessing of our every day normal simple lives. Can be a gift to us during hard times and a<br />treasue to someone we love after we have pasted on.Kimberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264772037067015226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432615092204334311.post-9174704498940905312013-07-15T15:03:12.736-04:002013-07-15T15:03:12.736-04:00A many years back my Mom' Ruth had started a ...A many years back my Mom' Ruth had started a gratitude book.

Many members of my family were in the military, WWII and Vietnam. My late DH, who was deaf, so wanted to join the Navy that his Captain dad tried to pull strings to get him in. Didn't work. Today I am grateful to all the military, especially those injured and away from families right now. Jeanne Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057481326878503381noreply@blogger.com
