Thanksgiving is about the cherished values of family, gathering, and expressing gratitude for the blessings we’ve received throughout the year. In this week’s blog, we believe it’s fitting to provide a platform for a few members of Team Advocate to share their heartfelt sentiments of thankfulness for the past year.
