Thanksgiving 2008

This year for Thanksgiving the whole Oh clan gathered in Redding, CA to celebrate Grandma Oh's 90th birthday party. Grandma Oh had had a health scare a few months ago, when she had heart failure and had to remain in the hospital for a few days. We all hoped and prayed she would make it to celebrate with all her grandkids and greatgrandkids. Miraculously, her health improved greatly, and she was all smiles all week, even maintaining daily exercise and bible study. It's what I was most thankful for this Thanksgiving, to see her again and spend time with her. Grandma, I'm thankful for you!
