Tonight at dinner Steve managed to gain Stella’s undivided attention long enough to ask her what she is thankful for. We all sat quietly as she pondered this heavy question and waited to see what she would divulge as the one thing that really makes her life complete. She looked down at the table and lost herself in thought for a good 15 seconds before raising her head and emphatically announcing “my placemat.”

Us too Stella, us too.
