Many Thanks - Shelbyville Times-Gazette

Doug Dezotell

Thank you! 

I like to say those two words.  

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  

We just celebrated the National Holiday of Thanksgiving this past week, and I have so many things to be thankful for… so many people to be thankful for… I have experienced so many health issues in the past year, with my lungs and my heart. 

But I am so thankful that I have two lungs and a beating heart. I really am.  

I am thankful that I have not contracted COVID-19. I have so many “underlying conditions” that kept me concerned about that since February of 2020. I was tested for the virus numerous times and, thank God, every test was negative.  

Thank You Lord! Thank you!  

I want to thank you for reading my columns week after week. Thank you for putting up with my multiple “Musings and Memories.”  

I want to thank you for sending me your emails and calling me thanking me for my columns. Thank you for thanking me in the aisles of the grocery store and in the aisles of the drug store or in the aisles of a church.  

Thank you!  

I want to thank my family for taking such good care of me this past year. I want to thank my Sweet Wife, Patricia Lynn Dezotell, RN., for walking by my side all these years, for always being there when I need her, and sometimes listening to my stories and my musings and my memories. Sometimes she listens. Sometimes she just walks away.  

I want to thank my precious daughter, Laura Michelle Dezotell, for making me proud every day. She has helped me in so many ways throughout the year, and she sometimes listens to my stories and my musings and memories.  

I want to thank my sons, Gabriel Paul Dezotell and Michael Robert Dezotell, for representing our family so well in the community. I want to thank them for being there for their mother and me and coming to our “rescue” when needed.  

I want to thank my live-in granddaughters, Kori and Jojo, for being my “gofers” and stopping what they’re doing to come to their Papa’s aide.  

I want to thank my oldest granddaughter, Charlie, for telling me her stories (I love stories) about her daily schoolhouse escapades. And she helps me out when she can.  

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  

I also want to thank Carol Spray and Mary Cook and David Melson and Melanie Hankins for letting me share my Musings and Memories with the public through the outlet of the printed page. Those four wonderful people are hardworking, dedicated professionals who make the Shelbyville Times-Gazette available to all of us.  

Thank you!  

I want to thank all the medical professionals who have been there for me over the past year. Thank you! My awesome primary care professional, Kristen McBay, FNP-C, and her wonderful staff, have been there for me to calm my fears and…and…and… and…and everything else.  

Thank you!  

My amazing cardiologist, Dr. Ifeoluwa Okusanya, MD, and her great staff, have been so helpful and kind. Thank you! My podiatrist, Dr. Russell Oliver, DPM, and his super staff, are there when I need them in (what I consider) an emergency. Dr. Oliver and I always get to share our musings and memories with each other. Thank you, Doc, for listening!  

Thank you to all my absolutely amazing, totally awesome, delightful and inspiring members of the Cannon Methodist church family for listening to all my musings and memories and messages and being there for me and one another. Thank you for all you do!  

Thank you!  

I have so much to be thankful for. You have so much to be thankful for. We all have so much to be thankful for.  

Giving thanks is a good thing…all year long.  

Thank you!
