Quick Write: Thanksgiving Break

and T-Shirt Design

This thanksgiving Im not so grateful. This year
wasnt so good. I saw my mom suffer a lot, I saw her slowly stop
breathing. I am thankful though, that my little sister, my brothers,
my dad and family members are physically okay. They might not
be spiritually okay but they are healthy. I am also thankful that I
got to spend so much time with my mom; I was able to make
unforgettable memories with her. For thanksgiving we usually
make Mexican food and some deserts and a turkey and gather at
my aunts house to eat and be together as a family. Either
watching movies or just talking amongst each other. We didnt
make a big deal about thanksgiving anymore. A few years ago
though, we celebrated thanksgiving with joy, Happiness. We
would put music and start dancing, singing but since one of my
uncles passed away we stopped doing all of those fun things.
Now, since my mom passed away, we didnt do anything for
thanksgiving. We did make some Mexican food and a turkey but
we didnt gather together as a family anymore. We did but we
didnt. We started off together, but once it got dark and things
started to sink in, we decided to just go black Friday shopping. We
left like around 6 and came back like at 11. It was a great
experience we got to distract ourselves a little and forget for a
second what had happened, why we werent celebrating
thanksgiving anymore. Hopefully Christmas in Mxico will be
better. For my T-Shirt Im doing a shirt in honor of my mom. I am
including her name Leticia Melena and an image of her and me
the day I celebrated my 15th birthday. Underneath it I included her
birthday October 20, 1978 to October 22 2015. In the back, I
included a prayer that was hand out the day of her funeral. It is a
prayer in Spanish. This is an example of how my shirt would look.
