Thanksgiving (by William)

Thanksgiving is the holiday for giving thanks.  I feel thankful for family and relatives.  There is one person that I feel especially thankful for, and that person is my mom.

The reason that I chose my mom is that she is encouraging, playful and……SUNNY! When I make a mistake, she is there to encourage me to keep trying. She is also very playful.  A few years ago, we made up a chasing game called “Big Tiger Is Catching Little Pig.” We chose the animals tiger and pig, because in the zodiac, I am a pig, while my mom is a tiger. Together, we had a lot of fun playing this game. Finally, she is sunny, which to me means positive. When there is a problem, she looks on the bright side. When I am stuck in a depressing trench of sad feelings, she makes my day much brighter.

 In addition, my mom helps me do a lot of things. I love baking cupcakes and cakes. One time, I cracked an egg on a counter, and I saw the entire raw egg slide down a cabinet to the floor. She just simply laughed. I love working with mom as a team.

My mom can turn a stormy day into a sunny day for me. I love to see her eyes shine on a beautiful day.  However, I can do nothing to express and show how much I love her.
