“It is a time to give thanks!! I am grateful to know all of our parents, caregivers, and siblings, and to be a part of your lives. I understand how busy you all are due to the holidays, but our forum will be open for anyone who wants to drop in and chat, or perhaps I can answer some questions you have.
