I could go on for hours talking about the things I'm most thankful for, so I won’t bore you with everything I could write, instead I'm going to narrow it down a little bit. first and foremost I'm so very thankful that I have a big wonderful family that has been here with me through thick and thin, no matter how bad things are, I know I can count on them to hold me together there is nothing any better in this life than sharing holidays, birthdays and Sundays having dinner and making the best memories with all of them. Secondly, I'm so very thankful for my wonderful mother and father and their great parenting skills. I'm sure it was not that easy raising six children, but they instilled morals and values in all of us that still sticks with me today. I'm so very thankful for my friends, throughout my life I have had many acquaintances that came and went, but I do have a handful of friends, that has been around for twenty years or more and I know I can count on them to be there day or night. I'm thankful that I met Jeremiah Hockensmith and really found the true meaning of love, although I struggle everyday to live with the fact that he passed away. I'm thankful the Lord gives me the strength to go on another day. I'm thankful that I live in America and have rights and can make my own choices and have the freedom to do as I choose. I'm thankful for the hardworking men and women in our armed forces, as well all firemen and women, policeman, doctors, nurses, and any other field that helps others. I’m thankful that I have a roof over my head, and food in my stomach, probably too much to be honest especially when there are so many others around the world that have nothing. I’m thankful I got to spend as much time as I did with my two grandmas’, my pap, my sister, two aunts and an uncle before they passed away, at times I feel angry because I feel as though I got short changed because they were taken away from me, but I have wonderful happy memories with each and every one of them. I’m thankful for my beautiful niece Anna and nephew Aeryan, when I feel like I can’t go on, they give me the inspiration to keep on keeping on. I’m thankful for my godson Rakeam, It’s been a blessing to see him grow into the beautiful young man he is today. I’m thankful that I was born and raised in West Virginia, although at times I feel like I’m missing out by living in a small town, this will always be home sweet home to me, I could never imagine living anywhere else. And last but not least I’m truly thankful for each and every day I get to wake up and see the mountains, smell the fresh air, for this I thank God my savior.
