I am thankful for people who encouraged me to do things I wanted to do but was afraid to attempt. My life has changed drastically for the better in the last five years. I am thankful that my disabled son is not worse off than he is, and is also funny, friendly, and good-looking. I am thankful that my daughter seems to be maturing nicely. And I am thankful that there is a place like this for Jon to talk about his troubles.

Jon and kendall, I'm sorry you guys are having a hard time, and I hope you can hang in there till things improve.
