Before I start to focus on what I'm not thankful for I want to remember the things I am thankful for.

I am thankful I had 29 years with Michael.

I am thankful we took that last vacation together.

I am thankful he spent his last holidays with me.

I am thankful we had that last conversation.

I am thankful some of the last words I heard were, "don't you ever get it wrong, your number one and you have always been number one to me." 

I am thankful I have such great family & friends that have surrounded me with love and support.

I am thankful I have the daughter I have and that she loves me so much.

I am thankful for the few signs God has allowed me.

I am thankful that I am left with so many great memories.

I am thankful I found this site and for the support I have received from everyone.

Grace, for the hockey tournament I was advised to set up a facebook page.  Set up a page in her name and make it about the concert.  I'm not that technically inclined either so I am getting help.  But it will help draw attention to the event.

I'dlike to send a FB link with a video of some concert video that my daughter made with her cell phone...but I am not too good at that Tech stuff.... but we had a good time jamming with a Piano man and a Harp player to "Piano Man" by billy Joel....  I agree Dolly... I was talking about that last night at the concert...how the contacts I make with "Special" People are very inspired and encouraging to me.... the Piano man playing with us last night also wrote very inspirational music....  so unfortunately our concert was not a full house...but hoping next one will be better.    Maybe if I could connect her via Facebook... I could share video....but I'll need help/

The resting bench was a beautiful idea. 

Grace, do you have any pictures from the concert or better yet a video clip?

During the last 2 years of Danielle's life, she had become so disabled, we had to use a wheelchair for her.  We also had a lift and other equipment.

During that time, we both came to realize how tough it is to be disabled.

And both of us gained an "understanding."

We have beautiful hiking trails in our local forest. This spring they are building a trail for the handicapped!!! It will run beside a local donkey sanctuary. I have been there, it's so beautiful.

I am not celebrating Christmas this year, so my husband and I decided in lieu of gifts, we wanted to do something special in memory of Danielle.

So we have donated a resting bench for the new wheelchair accessible trail! Danielle would be so proud.

We hope it makes a difference in someone's life as they sit and watch the donkey farm, and beautiful Mother Nature.

Dear Grace

Your concert post is so touching. What a beautiful moment it all must have been, especially "the family" coming together for this. That must have been the BEST feeling you could have. GOOD FOR YOU!!

PEACE everyone,  The concert was attended mostly by my VIP Guests of Special Needs folks.  I was hoping for a fuller house, and more donations.... but I was happy to bring a show to the people who are who my mission for the Niles Benefit Fund Serves.... There was a small Profit... and Encouragement that the Holiday Concert may be better attended.  Another good thing is that all Of Our Family participated to do this Concert in Memory of Niles.  My Son ran the Sound and My daughter and her boyfriend the Lights .... So many wonderful volunteers.  PEACE be with us all...

Dear Ammy,

I wish I would've seen your post before I wrote mine! Thank you! Your wisdom is greatly appreciated.

Dolly have a wonderful visit your oldest son. We are all loved by a higher spirit. His love is non-judgemental and inclusive. If I live my life bringing kindness and compassion to others, I have lived a good life and that is what is important. Everyone has to follow their own path on this earth. In the end all that matters is how we treated others and not what we said to them.
