Thankful

So I'm watching an old episode of "8 Simple Rules" (not a show I've watched) and it happens to be the episode after John Ritter's death. In the midst of it, Bear Esq comes in to ask for my help in opening a cereal box, and I find myself tearing up. After watching this TV family deal with the death of a parent, I'm VERY grateful to be blessed with another year with my 3 bears AND another year with BOTH my parents.
