I know that this is kind of late, but I just wanted say my piece of what I was thankful for.
I am thankful for the watch that my father bought me; without it, I would never be able to tell the time or know how much time has past. You see, my watch isn’t fancy, and it isn’t too cheap, but its perfect for me because it’s very symbolic to me. My watch symbolizes how much my father really cares that I know what time it is, how he went out of his way to buy me something that was small even though it mattered to me. My watch symbolizes all the time that I have had with him these past three months, how much time we’ve spent together, but also all the time that we missed out on because I needed a reality check a couple of years ago. Right now, my watch is counting down all the time I have left with my father because on December 1st I have to go back to my mother’s. Thankfully, that seems like miles away, but I know that it’s just around the corner, so I’m going to make sure that I spend all the time necessary to be with my father and my step-mom, because time is something I am thankful for when I am with them.
