Who I am Thankful For

( I called my blog site Remembered Blessings because there were so many wonderful things that happened with my Dad's last week on earth. I want to write about those things. And instead my first blog was about my insecurities....actually laziness. So now I want to share a Blessing.....)

Kayla, 10 years old, had an assignment for 5th grade. It was the week of Thanksgiving and she was to write about someone she was thankful for....this is the week my dad made his decision to stop diaylsis after 10 long years. She has always had a special connection with my dad, her great grandpa. So she choose to write about him and she got to read it to him in his last days. Tears were shed and love was shared.

Who I am Thankful For
By Kayla

I am thankful for my Great Grandpa Sowers because he taught me how to be respectful and he is brave and strong. I love him so much. He loves me too. He served during the Koren War. He was also a military policeman with the Army in Germany. He was the leader of a motorcycle gang. That's probably what made him so strong and brave! He is a big fisherman and he loves dogs very much. He can fix anything or solve problems. He is the proud parent of 2 kids, 4 grandkids, and 6 great grandkids. He loves his wife very much. Her name is Evelyn Sowers. I am thankful for her too! Those are some of the reasons I'm thankful for my Great Grandpa Sowers!
