I have lots of people but i have to narrow it down to 1. i would say the army but thats like 500 people. so i might say my mom or dad but probably my dad. hes been taking care of me because he bought a 460 thousand dollar house and a jaguar XJ for me and my sister comfort so i thought if he did that for me I'm like super grateful. to repay him for doing that, id probably by him a chicken because where planning on getting chickens at the house we bought.

I am thankful for my mom and dad because I would not be born if they weren`t my parents. and if they did not have my sister I would not have someone to play with and to help me. They also give me food and a roof to live under and care for me so much that they would go get a job and that is why I am thankful for my parents.

Who I am thankful for this year is my best friend named Caitlin. Why I am thankful for her is because she has done lots for me... for example she makes me laugh when I'm feeling down and she always encourages me when I think I can't do something.What I can do to show Caitlin that I am thankful for her is to do what she has been doing for me this whole time.

I am thankful for my brother because he always is there for me. One time I was lost at the airport and I was looking around and my brother found me. Also he tries to be funny but he can hurt me to. Another time was when I was hurt he hugs me and said that it is ok.That is what he does when my parents are gone. My brother can hurt me to but I do not care to much. I will love my brother. I also stick up for him one time he was getting bully and I stuck up for him. I love my brother no mater what he dose.

I an thankful for my dad because he works all day. And he takes us on vacations like for example he is taking us to Florida this thanksgiving. Another reason I am thankful for my dad is because he cares for his family and when I have struggles he helps me through them. And when I have a test he helps me study for it.A way I would show my dad I care for him is by giving him as hug or spending time him. Sometimes a way I show I am thankful for him is some times when my brother is not home I will go out and throw the football with him. And I love my dad all the way to space and back. I am so grateful for my dad.

I am thankful for my mom. My mom works hard and never gives up on my homework and other things. She works around the house and keeps it clean. My mom supports me in many ways. She supports me by making me understand math and reading skills. I am going to show my mom all the appreciation that she deserves by cleaning the house and feeding my brother and sister and helping my dad with dishes and vacuming the livingroom and upstairs. I love my mom and so does my family because she never stops helping others

Claire.S said...

I’m thankful for my dad because he does great things like he always gives us opportunities that not any other dad would give us he mostly spends time working on his telescopes and works at the Colorado Symphony but the best part of all is that he lets us go to his work and also lets us look through the telescopes he makes I think he is the best dad ever and nothing can change anything he does for me and what I can do for him for all of the things I love him to do is I can practice my violin for an hour witch will also make my mom happy and I can wash the dishes without permission this I think will make him be thankful for me.

I am thankful for my grandpa. Because he spoils me and loves me. For example he lets me have my own room in his house...................................
with a T.V. He also give me treats when I come over. Then he will play games like cards and chess. He is funny with big glasses, long socks and his shirt is always tucked in. He loves decorating for holidays and giving.He doesn't get mad at me even when I am annoying. And that is all the time.But most of all he loves me more than any grandpa ever could. But I love him most. I will probably get him a box of things I made.

SantiagoR said...

I am thankful for my dad when ever I'm sad my dad is always there for me.If I'm sad my dad will never ignore me he always comes to me and always tickles me which always makes me happy.My dad also protects me from dad people and the thing that he says the most is that me and my brother and sisters and mom are the most important to him.The thing that my dad likes to do is hug every time I hug him I always fell his beard that's the person I'm thankful for my dad.

I thank lot's of people in this world but I would have to narrow it down a lot but I would have to say my 2 dogs Mochi and Chloe. What I love about Chloe is she plays soccer,and Mochi cuddles you and never let's you hang alone. They also are the reason I want to be a vet. They are one of the most things I am thankful for.

I am thankful mom.Why because she is the best mom any girl could ever have.There are a lot of reasons but here are three.Number one is she can keep any secret that you are willing to tell her.The second one is she makes the best food in the world like turkey tetazinni it is so cheese so much favor but the best thing my mom put's in it is all her love.The third reason is she will fight for you with all her heart even if she know's your wrong.And those are some of the reasons why I am thankful for my mom.
