I am thankful for :

* A loving and (EXTREMELY, UNBELIEVABLY, INCREDIBLY) patient wife

* Medical science and doctors, without whom my wife and I would be childless.

* Caitlin, Victoria and Patrick. I learned more from them than I can ever hope to teach them.

* Another year passing without the loss of a family member (and possibly an addition, depending when my sister has her baby).

* My friends and acquaintences (on FT and beyond) who have enriched my life.

* A kind and understanding boss who has made it possible to juggle career and family to the benefit of both.

* The recovery of all friends and family members who underwent medical procedures this year.
