First Thanksgiving Without My Father
Today was the first Thanksgiving without my father. I know that over the next months there will be a lot of first _____ without him, but it is very hard. The holidays are the time when our family, just like many others, spent the most time together. We had certain traditions that will change and memories we shared.
I know that Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks and there are plenty of things to be thankful for. There are some people who don’t have food to eat or a place to live. Don’t get me wrong, I have food to eat and a place to live, but it still doesn’t change the fact about how much it hurts to not spend time with my dad. Some point I will be able to be thankful during the holidays, but it won’t be for a little bit.
To all those who have the chance to spend time with their loved ones, I hope you enjoyed it and make sure to remember the time you get to spend with them.
