Thanksgiving to Me:

Thanksgiving this year was really upsetting to me. With me having alot of stress and problems in my life i try to take things one day at a time. Thanksgiving this made up hoilday that people are suppose to come together and be happy/ grateful for what they have. For many years i have celebrate this holiday and tried to understanding the meaning of the hoilday.
My family to me isnt family because it doesnt fit this idealic family. With the father and mother married and the kids and the dog. I used to be ashamed to say my mother was a single parent and had three kids and no husband. Learning how to deal with the past and putting everything like the mistakes and the past history behind you. Is what makes you feel great about yourself. So why should that all be sad at thanksgiving just happy for family. The difference between the two is knowing that one doesn't connected to other. Trying to figure out how to deal with not living up to the rules of Thanksgiving Traditions of how your family is different. This thanksgiving my mother was in a car acident and then was in a coma. It was vey hard to tell my brother and sister that this would be very differnt for the rest of year. Now that she is out, I have alot of responsiblites on me that are very important to me.
So after all this, that has happened do i stop being thankful that im not dead she is not dead. That things could have deffinatly have been worse and so i tried to have a little faith because after all that is what the hoildays are about right! Forgiving thoughs who do wrong to us, giving to others and showing that we care, being loyal to friends and loved ones. I have tried to not have gulit taken over and let me be parallizAed and brake me down. So living life and doing the best i can is all that i can give to others like my teachers, my friends and of coursed loved ones.


HAPPY HOILDAYS
