On Friday, I posed one simple question. Please tell me the single most important thing in life to be grateful for. That was an interesting show. I also posted that on Facebook.
Twenty people responded. Let's get into it. Should I use these people's names? I'm going to.
What the hell? What are they going to do? They posted it on a public place. I'm going to do that.
Hi, everybody. I'm Michael Gross. This is the Daily Grateful. On Friday, I posed it to the simple question.
Please tell me the single most important thing in life to be grateful for. Okay, Donna Marie Beal Morris went to high school with her. She's just like one of the most awesome people you'd ever want to meet. She's a patriot and she loves America and she's just so damn cool and she loves veterans.
She's just awesome. The amazing people in your life. They're the ones who give you the memorable times in your journey that make you smile and want to keep it close. Very good, Donna.
Gary Craddock, the brother of the late kid Craddock. His name is actually David. The whole family. Good people.
Really, really good people. He says, decent health from my experience, people in poor health, do not get the opportunity to enjoy much else. And Gary knows of what he speaks because Gary was running along swimmingly. Okay?
He was doing wonderful and then all of a sudden he wasn't. And then all of a sudden he needed a lung transplant. And then all of a sudden he got a lung transplant. And yeah, and now he's doing so much better.
Hal Coleman, Hal Coleman lives up north of Atlanta, Georgia. And he's quite a guy. He just had one word, love. Thank you, Hal.

Wayne, you're absolutely correct. Bruce Riser, really cool guy living his best life in retirement right now. Fabulous guy, lost his wife's cancer, remarried a wonderful woman. And they're just living a great life.
This guy bikes like 60 miles a day before he even gets, you know, breaks his sweat. He said, you're health. He's right. Daniel guy, a retired bug guy, entomologist knows more about snakes than anybody I know.
He said, what did he say? Where'd he go? Life itself. Yeah, good.
Victor Pigeon. Victor Pigeon is a Spanish speaking Greek, all American Jew. That's what he used to call himself. He had a old car that he drove.

He says, health. He's right. He's got a bunch of brothers. Comes from a really awesome family.
Hell, John's helping others in need. Yep, that would be something that Hell, John's would say and he would do. Yeah. Donnie Flynn.
Okay, I got to tell you about Donnie Flynn. Donnie Flynn is my personal pastor. And you're saying, but Michael, how did you get a personal pastor? Well, because at one time I was famous on radio and he was one of my listeners and we would talk, he would call and ask questions and then we became friends off of radio and he became my personal pastor and he helped me through a lot of stuff throughout life.
Cool guy. I haven't read what he said yet. Let's say forgiveness by God and forgiveness by the people around me that I have heard the most. Well, that was very nice.
Steve Niedish lives up in North Carolina. Cool guy. We get into vicious political fights, vicious political fights, but a great guy, family man. And you know what his answer was?

Where's, yep, she is right next to the H on the keyboard. So Sandy said, yeah, and then she corrected herself afterwards. God and family. Linda Swigart.
My hubby. He's awesome. Yeah. Well, you're awesome too, Linda.
Linda lives up North. I don't think I've ever met her in person, but we have, you know, talked on Facebook and she's pretty cool person. So she must have an awesome husband. Lucky him.
