In
honor
of
Thanksgiving
Day,
Oprah
is
looking
back
at
some
of
her
favourite
episodes
where
she
has
thanked
people
for
bringing
joy
in
to
her
life.
Big
CBS
Love
brings
to
you
this
special
episode,
which
will
definitely
leave
you
teary-eyed
at
the
end.
The
show
kicked
off
with
Oprah
thanking
her
ex-boss,
Dennis
Swanson,
who
had
given
Oprah
her
first
break
by
hiring
her
for
AM
Chicago
which
kick-started
the
glamorous
career
of
Oprah
Winfrey.
The
9/11
attacks
left
an
ever-lasting
impact
on
everyone"s
mind,
but
the
firefighters
who
saved
lives
back
then
will
never
forget
what
they
saw.
Miller,
a
firefighter
from
Tennessee
who
was
sent
to
help
search
for
victims'
remains
at
the
Pentagon
recounts
an
incident
from
an
11
year
old
girl
Alex
who
sent
him
a
letter
of
thanks
for
saving
her
life.
"After
having
met
Miller,
I
really
thought
about
the
importance
of
saying
thank
you," she
says.
"Because
I
think
we
oftentimes
forget
just
saying
those
simple
words
can
actually
touch
someone."
The
stories
went
on
and
Oprah
kept
recounting
numerous
touching
moments
she
had
spent
with
some
of
her
guests
on
the
show.
Right
from
Warrick
Dunn,
a
professional
football
player
who
started
a
foundation
to
give
single
mothers
homes
of
their
own,
to
a
girl
who
fought
back
at
homelessness
and
found
herself
at
Harvard
with
the
help
of
a
couple
generous
neighbours.
All
stories
had
one
common
message
to
give
–
“Thank
you
is
such
a
simple
thing
to
say,
yet
it
can
mean
so
much
to
the
person
receiving
the
gratitude.
While
each
of
the
stories
were
fairly
small,
meaning
they
helped
a
small
group
of
people
or
just
one,
they
made
a
huge
impact
in
the
lives
of
those
who
heard
the
sincere
thank
you."

past

years
