Monte is a blessing as he showed me unconditional love. He adores the ground I walk on. (doesn't evyone need a little of that?)

Little Kim is a blessing because every time I say her name I think of my dear friend Kim whom she is named after.

Fern is a blessing as she was a test of my patience. She took 6 years to decide that she could sit on my lap, and today she literally yells at me to pet her each day right after her dinner.

Sterling is a blessing as he showed me tolerance. Even a kitty with bad habits needs to be loved for who they are.

Lucas is a blessing as he showed me acceptance. He welcomed in each and every new member of the household and showed them love.

well, needless to say, I have a LOT of blessings.
