Thanksgiving Letters

This Thanksgiving I am greatly thankful for my family, including but not limited to; parents, grandparents, siblings, and pets because of how much they the care about me and what they do for us.

Especially my parents, because they have go to work longer and harder to be able to get food and other special things for the rest of the family because my parents are divorced and both have to go to work longer to support my sister and I, even more during the holidays. That’s for the extra stuff for the rest of the one parent I am with for their close family, which for that I am very, very, extra thankful for them because it must be extra hard. But even more so for the big presents for birthdays or Christmas that only happen every couple years.

Also I am very thankful for my new dog who I just got this last weekend, except that she isn’t house trained yet, but it honestly isn’t a match for how thankful I am that we were able to get a puppy so close to aft er we lost our last dog. I am also thankful for the veterinary office for helping my last dog live with cancer as long as he did.
