Things I'm thankful for today.

We're home.
My parents have been laid to rest.
A lovely, long walk along the Athabasca River yesterday in Jasper.
I not only saw Angel Glacier at Mount Edith Cavell yesterday, I also saw a piece of the glacier fall.
Hiking in the mountains.
Homemade supper - portobello mushrooms, spinach, garlic and chicken in a cream and white wine sauce, served with pasta.
Time spent with my middle daughter, my son and his girlfriend.
Taking photos with the big guy.
Love.

What are you thankful for today?

A few people have wondered about Jack and his back story, not sure how things have gotten to where they are now, so thought I would share. Jack is the son of my son and a woman he was with briefly. Both my son and Jack's mom are/were alcoholics and drug addicts. We have been caring for Jack, off and on, since he was born. In October 2021, Jack was taken into foster care briefly, when his mom was arrested for assaulting him. Since then we were appointed guardians, along with his maternal grandma and aunt. My son hasn't had contact with his son in almost three years, and he's in and out of jail on a regular basis. Jack's mom has been in rehab a couple of times and is trying to get her life back. Sadly, she also seems to have some mental illness which makes her very difficult to deal with, and I think that's why she self medicates with drugs and alcohol.
