It was a good Christmas (What I am thankful for)
9 years ago
Today was nice Christmas. Not so much for what I got but for what I got to do. I was dropping my mom and step dad at the air port up in Boise so they can take a small break from the church and the cold. I got spend some time with my mom's side of the family while up there though it was more to see my cousin then anything. I was looking to sell my xbox one cause I really wansn't playing it anymore and my cousin was looking to buy one since his 360 wasn't working so I figured while I was up there I would bring it too him and spend some time to visit. Now time with the family was rather dull (mostly sitting around watching basketball with political talk and children playing with noisy toys) I honistly enjoyed spending time with my cousin and helping him set up the console. It was the first time I got to see where he was living and I got a new appreciation for what he dose.
To make a long story short, my cousin is disabled, half of his body is numb, he can't use his right hand at all, and his moterskills are severely hindered. He is also a single father, raising two children after his wife divorced him for another guy. Needless to say, it's not really easy for him, however seeing where he is right now leaves me feeling proud of him. He can't drive, so he instead rides a bike to his job at jack in the box while his mom and sister help look after his kids. He has a small little apartment that while messy he can call a home. He also takes his kids and walks them to church on Sunday. He dosnt have alot, but he makes the best of it to raise both his kids. I was honestly happy to help him out by giving him my xbox one, as well as a few games for him to start off with it. I don't get to see him often, but I was happy that I could at least do that for him.
I honestly have alot to be thankful for. People like Aldan, Rogus, Gamma, and many others that I have met, I'm just so happy to be a part of their lives and have them be a part of mine, eather as friends or even just acquaintances. This year has been a rather hard one, but it's thanks to my friends and family that I can get through it, and I hope I can do more with them this coming year.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy new year.
