Thanksgiving is a time to be loving and spend time with family and a time to be truly thankful. This year I got to really see what it means to be thankful to get to be with all my family and see how much I’ve missed them since I’ve been at school. I’ve come home a time or two before coming this week and I have only seen some of my family each time.

This week I got to see almost all of them from both sides of my family. I’ve missed them all incredibly and seeing all my little cousins what seem to be so grown up now. I just couldn’t be more thankful to get to see them but this thanksgiving I’m most grateful for my life. Just recently about a month ago, it’s been six years since my car accident and this past year I’ve had so many great opportunities come my way and so many great experiences happen that it puts things into prospective for me to be grateful each day for my life that could've been easily taken away and everything that happens (good or bad) I'm grateful for. There’s been so many lives lost this year that we all need to cherish our loved one each day and be thankful for the life that we have been given.
