LETTER: Remember the things you take for granted this Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving — a time to recognize the importance of the little things in life, be more aware of the blessings that we all take for granted. When I was 16, suddenly I was faced with the shock of losing something of such importance and the sadness of realizing how much I had been taking for granted through out my life. The ability to walk was definitely something that I had taken for granted, I never realized something so meaningful to me could be taken away so easily. Because walking meant so much to me I now realize how much it means to everyone else as well.
