So I am sure that everybody who writes a blog is doing a thanksgiving blog, and in the spirit of being non conforming I will do one too. .......... yes you read that right.
Every year my family goes around the table before eating and says what they are thankful for, and in my absence I send a letter for Mrs. Meat Hammer to read, this year was no different, but the letter was. Every year I have so much to be thankful for, but this year is different. I have very few things, but as the saying goes, it is not the quantity but the quality that matters. To the soon mentioned, thank you.
To the Meat Hammer family - Mr and Mrs. Meat Hammer, this has been a bumpy year not only for the two of you but for the 3 of us as well. I am thankful that you are both alive and mostly healthy. Thank you for the support you gave me during my rock bottom time this year. And even though you want me to take different paths in life you stand behind my choices. Sibling Meat Hammer, not only are you an idiot in football, the choosing of good teams, and a douche bag, I know I have your support as well. And even though we do things that we don't agree on, like quitting a great job and moving across the country for a girl, or getting married to an old man we are a crutch of support. I am thankful you brought the little Meat Hammer into this world. And to the little Meat Hammer I wish you were a little bit older to understand things. Kid you are the world to me and you have no idea. When I was broken to a point that no man should ever be broken, just your smile put me back together. Kid I would go to great lengths for you no matter what the cost and I am glad you are so close with your distant uncle.
To The Meat Hammer second family - Shanarchy, I don't even know how to start words for how thankful I am for you. Just sitting here trying to put the words together brings a tear to my eye. I honestly don't think there are any words to express what I want to say. Thank you for everything, the sacrifices, the love, the support the laughter, the encouragement, the friendship, the move, and for making me a better person just by knowing you. You mean the world to me and you are one of the very few things that kept me going, and at times kept me alive during this year. You are an angel and I will never be able to thank you enough for the many things you helped me with and never had a clue what you were really doing for me. Mr. Archy, I am so glad I have met you. The only impression you had of me was drunk dude in my boxers with a guitar, and you helped me in probably my worst time in life. Since then you have become a good friend of mine, and now a brother in law to me. I thank you for being such a good friend, and so good to Shanarchy. Duff Mil, I was nothing but some dude moving into your house, but you didn't care. We have become good friends when I needed a friend. I look forward to hanging out more and getting closer. Boss Lady, I thank you for getting me my old job back without a wink. When I needed to move and get a job you didn't even think twice you welcomed me back with open arms, and I appreciate it so much. I hope that up until now, and that I will keep impressing you at my job and keep proving how truly thankful I am for it. To all of my other non mentioned friends that talked me through this year, that have lent me support, that cheered me up, and helped me out, thank you all. My life truly would not be the same without you all. Thank you.
To the Meat Hammer God - Hey God thats a cool name for you, I think we should re-write the Bible what do you say? I am thankful that moving back to Utah brought me closer. My ordeal in hell, aka Vegas, was one of your twisted plans that nobody will ever understand, and in an odd way I thank you for it. I thank you for the chance to get into a church again and even the chance to play in the worship band. It is helping me with my walk with you. I thank you for the house church you brought me to, it is nice to have a church family again.
I am thankful for having a job, a roof over my head and air in my lungs. I am thankful to just be alive. There is no reason to get into the small details that we are all thankful for this year because they go without saying. And even though I don't have much to be thankful for after this crappiest year of my life, I have the important things, and thats what matters.
From the Myhre Meat Hammer home, I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving, and hope that whatever it is you are thankful for, you do not take it for granted.
The Meat Hammer
