Holidays evoke feelings of gratitude
Dear Editor:
This Christmas I am especially reminded of the past year and all I have to be thankful for.
Through the years I have always been thankful for things like the County Fair. Our three children have enjoyed this for many years and as everyone knows, it takes a lot of work and support.
This year our youngest daughter Ashley had two procedures for a lump on her breast. The second procedure came back clear! How can a parent be thankful enough?
The Red Oak cheerleaders held a car wash at HyVee for Ashley and her friend Morgan; Sally Stoakes also supported these girls through her store, the Butik; and Stanton friends held a 5-K for anyone who has been dealing with a health battle
Things like this just leave me speechless.
I am so thankful to the man upstairs for all that I have in my life.
My wife and I very much appreciate all the support shown this year. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
