I dislike wind, but I'm thankful we're not getting rain along with wind on Long Island today. After fearing for my mother's health during Lent, I'm thankful she's still with us. Despite her improvement, I'm aware she could pass anytime, just as she could've succumbed to any number of past ailments. No one can say precisely how long life will last. That nakes me all the more thankful for it.
