Lest you think that I am confused, I am actually trying to catch up so that my days of thankfulness match the calendar, even though I got a late start by one day. So, I am thankful for my husband of 46 years. We have had many ups and downs, but we have stuck together. He spent many years alone in the military, as did I, as his military spouse. But each time he returned, we were happy to be reunited. For the last 23 years, he has been retired and we have actually gotten to know more about each other. I think that our age has allowed us to tolerate/accept our many differences. He has been my mainstay through five surgeries and a stroke, so he is my caregiver and my best friend. I thank God for giving me a man who loves me in spite of me.
I hope that you all are joining me in being thankful, if not on a blog or on social media, then in your hearts and minds. May God bless you this evening. See you tomorrow for day #4!

Oh wow! 46 years??!!! I am thankful for you and your family’s service to our great nation. You made it through the military without divorcing. That’s something to be thankful for.

Yes, it definitely is! We are both Christians and don’t believe in divorce, so we spent a lot of time praying and forgiving each other.
