Things To Be Thankful For #16

 Today I am thankful for a person who has been in my life since I was 16 years old and has truly been like a dad to me, and that is my father-in-law (well, not legally anymore), Derold Thornton. From the moment I met him, he just accepted me right off the bat and  when Ed and I got married and he thought we were too young, he still accepted it and helped us out as much as possible.  And even when we divorced, he still helped me out with all kinds of things, even picking me up at LAX at 2am ( and he lived in Ontario!)  when I was stranded. No girl could ever ask for a better father-in-law than him. Even to this day, he will call and let us know when he will be in NC so we can see him and Jean, and they both make it a point to have gone to all the grandkids and great grandkids graduations. Derold is all about family and I appreciate that so much about him. Thank you for being in my life still.
