They may get on my nerves a lot of the time, but they are all the family I have, and I don’t know what I would be without themI’m thankful that my dad has survived his 14th Thanksgiving with multiple sclerosis, and that all of his medical problems haven’t taken him from usI’m thankful that even though money is extremely tight right now, we are able to make it through day after dayI’m thankful for the people at Jewel-Osco who hired me as a pharmacy technician to not only give me my first job, but also have given me a chance to jump start into my future careerThere are many things that we can be thankful for, and I’d like to hear all of the things you all are thankful for.
