Thanksgiving is this Thursday so I figured I would talk about that. This year we are all going over to my aunt Carla's house and eating turkey and ham and everything that goes with. Normally it would just be my mom's side of the family and then my dad's side would just come by for pie a little bit later but this year it is a little different. My uncle and aunt and two cousins are still going to drop by later for pie but my grandma is going to come over and eat with us. Now that my uncle Dave is gone its has been extremely hard on here. Especially with the holidays right around the corner. So we invited her over to come eat with us so she decided she would come. Normally on Thanksgiving I would be most excited about the food and say a few things I am thankful for and that would be it. However, this year is a little different I'm not as excited because i know how painfully it is for her and my dad. This year I realized I have a lot more to be thankful for then I ever realized. I am thankful for my family and how I know they will always be there for me in time of need like they have been for my grandma and dad. They have been very supportive and it really made me realize how truly amazing they are. Overall though I am thankful for my life and I know it can be taken away at any minute and to enjoy it while you have it. I see myself getting happy over simpler things and really appreciating everything I have and do. So this Thanksgiving really think about how lucky you are and be thankful. =D
