Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Not very often my whole extended family is together at once. This includes my grandma, uncles, aunts, cousins, and of course, my family. I love sitting around the table and taking in their presence. My family has a lot of humor, and normally at some point I laugh until I can’t breathe. From telling me what’s in style, to taking selfies on snapchat, it’s never a dull moment with them.
After my sister left for college, I really started to take gratitude when my family is together. I was so used to her being home, and now she is starting her life away from home. I leave in 3 years, and I will do the same. Now when she comes home, I enjoy it and make new memories to remember. 3 of my cousins are graduating this year, and I remember when we were all kids playing uno, building forts, and playing twister. There’s so many countless memories from thanksgiving from our childhood, but I know that we will make new ones.
I agree, when my sister left for college I started to never take for granite when my family is together. Thanksgiving is a great holiday!
