Thanksgiving . I always like to take stock of what I ' m thankful for , and this year my first reaction was FUCKING NOTHING THIS YEAR HAS SUCKED . Last year at this time I was pregnant and blissfully unaware that MMC was a thing , and that my baby was actually dead inside of me . Since then , so much more bullshit . But I don ' t want to become a negative , jaded , or ungrateful person . I have a lot in my life that is exceptional , and for those things I am grateful My husband , first and foremost . This year has been a big test of our relationship and we feel stronger than ever . My family , immediate and otherwise , there for me at a moment ' s notice . Close friends . Everyone who has provided love and support on the toughest of days when it felt like the world was ending , in person or on this sub . My US passport and all the stamps I was fortunate to add this year . My job , with generous vacation for the US and the amazing health insurance I ' m lucky to have . For all of these things , I am thankful . Happy Thanksgiving to you all . I hope the holidays are kind to you , even though I know this time of year is hard .
