Here’s what Kim Washington in North Haven shared. Want to tell us what you’re thankful for? It could be a person, a tradition, or even a small everyday joy — just answer a few questions, and let your community know what matters most to you this year.

What are you most thankful for this year?

I am thankful to have a friend who is like a sister to me, her name is Toni Foreman.

Why does this mean so much to you?

Toni Foreman means so much to me because she is struggling with her medical condition, but she is always concerned about me as a sister. If I need a ride, if I need assistance with bags, such as grocery to take up into my apartment, she has went with me to the hospital and stayed by my side. Toni has that extended love for me as a sister, friend, and a woman. I love her dearly. Toni is someone I can call on anytime. Toni checks on me in the morning, at work and after work. Regardless of how she is feeling herself. Toni is dedicated to my family. Toni loves me as her sister for life.

How has this made a difference in your 2025?

Toni is a support system for me especially when I need to talk about my dad who passed away four years ago. Toni again is dealing with her own personal medical condition but she always reached out to check in on me. I was not feeling well this year, but Toni was right there to make sure I was OK. She had called m brothers to let them both know I was ok, and she was with me. I feel Toni is like my sister angel always there to assist me. I am so thankful for her love and kindness.

What do you wish others knew about what you’re thankful for?

I am thankful for my dear friend Toni Forman who goes above and beyond her own duties to always make sure I am ok. I am also thankful for the small things in life. I am thankful for life, to get up every morning to breath, walk, listen, and make life decisions.
