Thanksgiving

Description

so i know this scene isn't really something to be thankful for but i'm going to explain a lot right now. i'm going to try not and make it long but if it turns out that way...well...i fucked up somewhere and my journey to make this short failed

so first of all i'm not the traditional "Religious person", I'm a Deist and the way i see things, i'm giving thanks to the flip of a coin. there's a bad flip and there's a good flip. and my family has been lucky to get the good flips of the coin flipped by whatever power is driving us forward in life. wither that be a god or fate for us our flips have been pretty good for what they are.

now then. I've lived half of my life in a hospital. I've grown up in my hospital and whenever they call me in i pretty much know where to go because i have been in my hospital so much for so long that i subconsciously memorized it.
so for every holiday i'm not in the hospital i am thankful. because that is a special day where i can be with my family and not with the doctors. that i'm not surrounded by those white wall no...i'm in my own room. even if it's this gross pink color my sister is right across the room from me and i can throw my socks at her and laugh as i tell her i love her. right across the hall is my parents who i know are asleep and down that hall is my brother who's laughing at his video games and taking in the joy of having his own bed and not the shitty one at his dorm all the way in Kentucky.

my mother has cancer. ovarian cancer if you're wondering. but she is in remission now and she is going through physical therapy. she went through 18 months of chemotherapy and during those 18 months there was a good chance that she would die. but she didn't. she's still alive and is working on her walking so she'll be able to walk like she use to. you know those walk that you go to to raise money for an organization to help find a cure. yea. she's training to walk those miles and i'm going to walk with her.

so i am thankful. i'm thankful that there hasn't been death in my family this yea. i'm thankful that i haven't been in the hospital. and i think that's enough reason for me to be thankful. there are many more things out there. i'm not on the streets, i have at least one person to talk to when i feel somewhat lonely, my brother is home and down the hall from me. yea...life for me is good. and this is a day where i can't complain, and trust me i have a lot to complain about but today...today is not a day that i'm allowed to complain. 
and i know there's a chance i could get cancer but i don't have it right now and for that i am thankful
this little boy in this picture, i'm thankful it's not me. it may be me and it may not be me
but right now
at this point in time
it's not me
and for all those kids who life is this
i'm thankful they're still alive and at least have the little things to enjoy.
i'm thankful that my cousin didn't get shot and killed since he was on guard at the Ferguson riots.
i'm thankful that i have all these people watching me as i somewhat grow at art and stick with me through all my drama which in due time won't even matter.

and i'm thankful i saw this video on today of all days because it gave me in site on life

and yes
i am naming him Louis
i may or may not draw him again. but this was a situation i could have been in and i'm not. and i'm thankful for that.

Happy Thanksgiving

I'm feeling super emotional now-

And this is a bit late, but Happy Thanksgiving, and I'm really glad you and your mother, along with the rest of your family are doing well! ;v;
