Grateful.
that my parents from a different land chose this day like many others to make for yet another reason to gather everyone during their small but humble beginnings.
Grateful.
they wanted us to show how blessed we are they brought us here for better lives, as fellow natives from their own motherlands.
Grateful.
for the family, they’ve built and we’ve built as generations have passed and gone and continue to grow.
Grateful.
the people who are in my present life and beyond. For letting me in their time and space. To bond over what hasn’t been bonded yet.
Grateful.
for my body and spirit that has been with me since before I was even molded into the being I am today.
Grateful.
for all the possibilities I thought were impossible to conquer.
Whatever your reasoning may be if you have a million or none at all. A “holiday” for many, but for me? this day has become a practice. One that I should maintain every day. To give thanks. Para dar gracias. For everyone. Por todos.
Grateful. Agradecido.
