I am thankful:
For my life since I found Jesus. (and his sacrifice most of all)
That I reached the age of 20 before I lost my Great-Grandmother. (I am/ will be 22 - 12/31)
That I still have most of my family and friends left to enjoy life with.
That I have the ability to help others even though I don't have much myself.
That I have a Festiva to turn into my (miniature) dream car (slowly but surely).
For FF.com (and everyone on it), that I have a place to get help/ information/ and a source for rare parts/ options and "goodies".
That God has a perfect job/ sequence of jobs out there for me.
That God has (and is preparing) the perfect wife out there for me.

...and that I have at least one friend that was willing to read my entire post.
Thank you, whomever you are.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,
Chris

Up here in Canada we had our thanksgiving in October, but I gotta thank the ff.com community for existing and helping me get parts and maintain my festy all through college or else I would have had no other way of traveling to school and finishing my education...a lil 45 mpg machine is a blessing not only at the gas pumps, but also on insurance.lol...Thanks to all those that have helped me out here! God Bless!

My Grandma passed away from pneumonia a week before my wedding! SHe still had her brains, hearing (well, technically she was supposed ot wear hearing aids but she didnt like how they looked lol), and her sight! However, she did lose her fine motor skills towards the end

same with my last grandmother. 91, less than 2 months from 92. Sharp as a tack right up to the end. She passed January of '08. Checked on her at 9am, a-ok. My sister checked on her at 10:30, and found her passed on the family room floor.

oh, and after reading his post in the Arena, I'm thankful I'm not Geneva Dirt!!!

omg....im so sorry to hear it happened that way!

[FB71]

she kept telling us it wouldn't be long. Just before Christmas, she told us she wouldn't make it another month. We kept telling her "no way, you're in great health", which she was. She passed on Jan 21, 2 days after my dad was hospitalized for Acute Heart Failure, due to a viral attack on his heart. '08 has been a rough year...

Im thankful for my wife, my children and all my friends that i know. Im also thankful to my guardian angel who has watched over me thru 5 heart attacks, 2 bouts with cancer and being electrocuted. Im also thankful for the dedicated men and women in the armed forces for which we wouldnt be able to do what we do today and have what we have, the price of freedom is not cheap and being a 20 year veteran, im thankful for them.

EEeeewww......wow milehighbear ! Great statement. I too had a bypass in 1997, and I am grateful for family, parents I had, wife, things in my life. Friends. Friends like you guys here who make great reading and advice...the strength to keep up a hobby and interest in our little cars that get great mileage.
Anything to save fuel, I am for. Thanks to you all in the posts that give info, and great advice, plus parts places. I'm sure I am leaving something out.

I'm thankful first for my life in Christ (and my family's), my beautiful wife and my three fantastic teenagers. Then all those that have fought and sacrificed for my freedom today and in the past. My Dad and his three brothers all fought in WWII (1 Navy, 1 Marines, 2 Army). All lived through some horrible circumstances and came home so I will never take for granted those that serve. I have so many other things I'm thankful for not the least of which are you guys. I have so much fun on this website and hope to meet you guys someday face to face. Thank you all for your friendship over the web, the great advice, laughs and putting up with stupid questions :p

[milehighbear]

hey bigwheel, to me a question you dont know the answer to is not stupid.
