{via, yours truly}
for my oldest brother. the one who has always guided me through life and helped me find the right direction. the one who has provided me with more love and support over this last year, than ever before. the one who nudged me to apply for graduate school to make my dreams reality. the one who has always offered honest, valuable advice, even if I didn't ask for it. for all of this and more, I'm so thankful.
for my older brother. the one who sacrificed six years of his life so that I could graduate from college, get a job, and move across the state. the one who has put my needs before himself, to make sure that I was happy. the one who always brings us together on Thanksgiving and Christmas, to continue our family traditions. the one who is struggling, but won't show it. the one who always wants the best for me, whatever that may be. the 'glue' that holds this family together. for all of this and more, I'm so thankful.
for my parents. the ones who gave me a better life. the ones who provided me with a good education, good manners and kindness. the ones who raised me right, who taught me the importance of gratitude, and showed me how to cook really good food. the ones who put clothes on my back, a roof over my head, and delicious food on the table. the ones who told me to fight for all of the things I want in life, to believe in myself, and to never stop smiling. for all of this and more, I'm so thankful.
This Thanksgiving holiday (and every day), I'm thankful for my family. The wonderful memories I have of my parents, and the wonderful moments I spend with my brothers.
What are you thankful for?
