Tankful Tursday!
Every once in a while, God shows us all we have to be Thankful for. It is such that I present this story as my Tankful Tursday post. The video that you will see, will probably bring tears to your eyes, but how truly Tankful are you?
For me, it is every single breath I take. This is what I am thankful for! There but for the grace of God go I!
Have a wonderful day! Read the story below and then watch the video.
A son asked his father, "Dad, will you do a marathon with me?"
The father, despite having a heart condition, says, "Yes."
They went on to complete the marathon together. The father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, "Dad, let's join the Ironman together." To which, his father also said, "Yes."
For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. Held every fall in the US city of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, the race encompasses three endurance events; a 2.4 mile (3.8 km) ocean swim in Kailua-Kona Bay, a 112 mile (180 km) bike ride across the Hawaiian lava desert to Hawi and back, and a marathon (26.2 mile, 42 km) along the coast of the Big Island (from Keauhou to Keahole Point to Kailua-Kona); finishing on Ali'i Drive.

I am so tankful today! I am an almost grandma! Since I don't have grandchildren and likely never will, I take them where I can. My bff Cindy who you all met at lunch bunch had her first grandson last night. His name is Jack and mom and baby are reportedly doing well. I can't wait to get to the point that I can travel so I can go see him! I'll post pix when I get them!
