Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!


Yesterday was my grandfather's memorial service. He passed away September 14th. It made me really treasure the times I spent with him, the memories I've been blessed to have with him and my family. I'm thankful for those memories, the laughs, the tears, the joys, the sadness.
I'm thankful for the family I've been able to get to know the past three days...I've missed out on many things. My father's family lives in various places all over, and I saw a lot of them more than 14 years ago...I was merely a baby. So seeing them now and having these memories is a wonderful thing...I will be sad to see them all leave..I hope I don't have to wait another 14 years to see them again.

I'm thankful for all the friends I've made the past three years in FIRST and everywhere else. It's amazing what a mere program can bring to just one person. The blessings are endless. I love you all!
