Thank you Susan. Happy thanksgiving to you as well

Well, I certainly think you are lovely; and I am thankful always for your column.

Susan, I love your writing and enjoy seeing you whenever you appear on various programs. Your article was especially meaningful, as my 5-year-old grandaughter has just been diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer, which has advanced. Our carefree family is just devastated and youth and beauty and good fortune abound. Everything has changed, however, and we, in looking for an eventual recovery, are indeed looking at the world in a new way. It is so true that age gives one the ability to be more thankful, as suddenly we are so much more aware of what really matters in life. It's so easy to take life for granted.

Your article about giving thanks is well stated. I read your article about Prop. 8 today, Stockton RECORD. I wonder if you ever thoguht about sexes NOT being equal? Sexes are complimentary and could never be anatomically equal. Thoma Sowell wrote an exellent piece recently: "Gat marriage confuses rights, privileges"? You probably know where to contact him. He makes the excellent point about ditinguishing between behaviors. I have had personal friends who are gays. I gave a home to a very sick collegue at work when noone else would take him in, a confesssed homosexual. I did his laundry one day, which was an eye opener for me. I guess that as soon as he was feeling better, he was out having gay relations and not in a very hygenic way. I had to ask him to leave. I hope you will do some further research and give more thought to this issue. I hope you will read Sowell's article. I know you will probably not want to change your stand, but I hope you are opan to thinking further about what is NOT discrimination, but distinguishing between behaviors - against nature, or pro-nature? That is an interesting idea, is it not? It arises from Sowell's article. May you be blesssed by the Almighty God who wants nothing more than for us to love and obey Him. Have a beautiiful Advent season. E.M.H.

Susan,

Although I usually don't agree with you when i see you on the talk shows, I must say I certainly agree with your warm and thoughtful comments on Thanksgiving. You certainly understand what it means. Thank you, and I hope your Thanksgiving was as joyous as the time I was able to spend with my three daughters this Thanksgiving,
