   I was thinking about how blessed I am, and decided to Google "blessed".  No, I didn't mean holy or consecrated...didn't mean annoyed or exasperated.  Didn't mean living in Heaven.  Apparently I was completely incorrect in my understanding of the definition of "blessed".

   
   

   Then I started thinking, "Man, I wish we would've invested in Google".  Then I realized my mind wanders.  I mean, I knew this, but boy have I done it a lot lately.  

   
   

   Having said that, today is Global Pulmonary Fibrosis Day.  My dad passed away from Pulmonary Fibrosis October 18, 2010.  Awareness is important.  If you don't know what it is, and are looking for a cause to support, I tell you, my friends, this is one you can support...research, cures, all of it.  There is no cure, there isn't enough research.  

   
   

   Blessings...I'm so thankful for every second that my dad got to be my dad.  I'm so grateful for my children's relationships with him.  And I'm so grateful that he loved my mom to the end of the earth and beyond.  

   
   

   Don't really care what the definition is - I know God touched our family when he gave us our dad.  God touched me when he gave me my family.  And for this, I am thankful.  Thank you, God.
