Im thankful for my family and friends. Nothing better then being surrounded by good people who all have love for each other.
I don't really know anyone on here but i like that Paul B gave a shout out to the veterans. Without them who knows where our country would be.

This year more than ever, I'm thankful for SCIENCE! In about another 3 hours, my wife will be 2 weeks removed from suffering what could have been a major and life altering stroke. She had went to bed before me and I had stayed up late because I had worked a swing shift and was still winding down. A little while later, I got up to use the bathroom and heard noise coming from the bedroom. First thought was she left the TV on but no, it was just her moaning in bed and I thought, bad dream. I went in and gave her a shake to rouse her out of the dream but quickly realized she wasn't dreaming. For whatever reason, I tried to get her to say her name or mine but she couldn't speak. Called 911 immediately and said my wife's having a stroke. Long story short, we we're in the ER within an hour and they hit her with the clot busting meds but it didn't work. The doc pulled me in a room and said, we need to go in through her groin and up into her brain and pull this clot out. It was a little over a 4mm clot. He said we have about a 50-55% success with this procedure. 2 options were laid out: 1. leave her be and she'd be paralyzed on the right side and probably never speak again, 2. Go in and get the clot and then wait and see how much damage was done with the possibility of having a fatal brain bleed due to the clot buster meds having already been givin and the fact that it is a very delicate procedure. Took all of a call to he sister to confer and 2 secs to say "go get it", she'd never be able to live happily with option 1. They were successful! She was speaking within 2 hrs of the procedure, had gained movement and strength back in her right side. She was discharged 2 days later and you'd never know what she's been through. She will have some speech therapy for awhile to fix a few things (can't get the words in her brain to such things as a text or to a keyboard, sometimes has trouble with word recognition, and a few other things) but overall, we could never have expected things to be where there at now from what she suffered. Prayers are a great thing but science pulled that clot out of the artery in her brain. So, as well as being thankful to Science, all the friends and family's who sent prayers her way, I'm also thankful for my wife, the absolute toughest SOB I know. Reefing Madness

I am thankful for my parents that have been married for 50 years as of next may 1st. I also thank God for putting revhtree in the position to run this forum which helps so many people with my favorite hobby.

I don't want to win anything as I don't need it but wanted to tell you I'm thankful for life. For the healthy beautiful life surrounding me I experience everyday from my kids, wife, family and friends to pets and more. As fast as it can be taken for granted it can be taken away. The day before thanksgiving my father in law is having surgery to remove cancer and I'm thankful for the doctors who will be taking care of him. There is so much more and I could easily go on for hours so I'll just conclude I'm thankful for all the beautiful life around me.

 

[Oscaror]

I'm thankful for my amazing mom and dad, who love me unconditionally. I'm thankful for my baby bird, Felix, who brings me joy everyday. I'm thankful for my home, and for my freedom. I'm thankful for my passion, which is nature, that my parents gave me. And I'm grateful for the reef aquarium that they gave me, to help me enjoy nature in my own home. And I'm thankful for all the helpful people here on R2R.

I am thankful for having each day to live. I have a great husband, great children and great pets. I am thankful for the 23 years I had to spend with my son, Alan, who passed away in Sept. 2013 from cystic fibrosis. One of the last things he wanted was a "fish tank" so he enjoyed the hobby for a little while before he passed away. I'm thankful for being able to help others in little ways each day as so many have helped me. Just found TruRacr314x lives nearby. This is a rural area, so that was awesome! Haven't spoken to him yet, but it's nice to know a fellow reefer is close by. And thank to each of you for all your helpful advice and @revhtree for starting this forum!

[scardall]

If it wasn't for my fellow reefers, I could not have been as succesful as aspire to be, plus I can now determine What Aquarium support equipment etc better suits my needs and others. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT GIVEN.


THANKS AGAIN :horn::wave:

I am thankful for my Family (Wife and Daughter) They are the air I breathe and the water of life to me.
I wish daily to be with them when we are apart. My Wife feels the same way, she is truly my soul mate.
It hurts to be away from them even for a minute... Rjramos
