During this time of year people say how grateful they are for their families and their health. But I am one who is grateful for my family and health every day of the year.

I’m thankful for my family because they are the people who have supported me in every choice I have made. They have supported me during the most stressful time of my life, like starting at a new school that was more demanding with academics.

I’m thankful for my family because even through rough times, we can still come together and support each other. When my mom had her heart attack my family came together and made each other strong. Since that experience we’ve become even closer because of it.

I’m thankful for my family because even those we do call family who aren't blood related, we can still depend on them. We can lean on them for support and always expect them to be there when we need them most.

I’m thankful for my family because, family are the people that will always be there for you no matter what.
