I have so many things to be grateful for this year. I have finally reconnected with one of my kids with my ex whom i havent spoken to or seen for 10 years, he is 19 and finally free of her and able to make up his own mind. We are actively making up for lost time.
Last year, i found my birth parents. I discovered my dad had passed away in 09. My mom is still alive and wasnt doing the greatest. So i moved her here to iowa to take charge of her health and am happy to report she is doing much better. A little background there, i was placed in foster care 43 years ago, spent 10 years almost in foster care, was adopted after that, but obviously hadnt seen either birth parent in 42 years. It took 30 years to finally find them. Little too late for dad. I am grateful to have the chance to get to know my mom the best i can, though she has severe mental disabilities.
I am grateful to be of good health basically and my family overall is as well. I am also grateful to be gainfully employed and stable in the same company for 15 years now.
Last but not least, i am very grateful to finally have completed a dream of mine in my 09 turbo busa. It was a lot of work both for me and vendors, but she is finally a reality and i could not be happier.
