I was grateful for this time in Los Angeles with loved ones, and I was grateful for the memories we would make that I could remember fondly for life. Auntie Dee and I were sitting at the kitchen table while we decorated a gingerbread house. I had green icing all over my mouth and hands, and everybody was full-heartedly laughing. It is those moments that one will always cherish, for everyone remembers beautiful, loving times with people you love. That week was filled with many trips to the mall, friends, and simply time to sit on the couch with my grandma while we talked and laughed. Then, when my time with this family was over, I was blessed with yet another trip. This time we were traveling to Hawaii, oh, how much I have to truly be thankful
