On a cold snowy Sunday morning, a mother got out of bed and was about to go brush her teeth when she heard the sleepy crackled voice of her young boy saying, “No Mommy.

On this Thanksgiving Day, 2008, I have many things to be thankful for: I’m thankful for my health. I’m thankful for my wonderful job. Especially in these scary economic times.

Ben: Mom? Me: Yeah honey? Ben: What is the body part that has a circle and then like a little tail coming off of it. My heart stops and my throat starts to close. I knew this day would come but I didn’t really expect it on a Tuesday morning as I was getting ready [...]
