Merrimack is Thankful For...

Happy Thanksgiving, Merrimack.

While most are grateful year round for the things that make our lives happy and full, there is no time better than Thanksgiving to share all we have to be thankful for.

In the last several days, we asked you to share the things you are thankful for this season. Below are some of the responses we've received:

Lisa Brisson

I am thankful for my healthy children, and having my son, my miracle baby after five miscarriages.

John Grady

I am thankful that the voters of Merrimack had the good sense to elect my wife, Brenda, to represent our community at the State House in Concord.

Denise Greenleaf

I'm thankful for my beautiful new grandson, Oran.

Darlene's [bath & body] Boutique

I am thankful for my customers and for so many that have reached out to help me when I truly needed help! I am thankful for what I have and thankful to be here!

Candy Simeone

I am thankful for the 20 years I had with my beautiful son Jon Simeone, he continues to shine upon me and walks with me every day through the challenges of life. I am thankful for his brother Michael who has kept me on my toes every day, and works tirelessly to make me proud. I am thankful for my best person, Tanya Shenk who has kept me positive through a very tough two years! I am thankful for my entire family, who continue to show me so much love and help me strive to be a better person even during their own struggles.

I am thankful for all of Jonathon's friends, and their families who have not forgotten us and continue to show us love and treat us as though we are family.

And I am thankful for finding The Patch! Happy Thanksgiving to all and remember to hug your kids <3

I am thankful for two years of working for Michael and Theresa Anderson and with the wonderful Swan Chocolates team! I was lucky to be part of Merrimack, meeting fellow chocolate and coffee lovers my job was to make people happy through chocolate! Doesn't get much better!

Thank you all for sharing!

I am thankful for my friends and family. For our 6-month-old nephew Noah. For the men and women of our Armed Services who live their lives day in and out to serve and protect our country. For good health, a great job and all the wonderful people I've met working in Merrimack for the last year and a half. – Carolyn Dube
