Week 6: History & Patriotism *Happy fourth of July*

I know this weeks theme was quite random; my family’s history of patriotism focused on the fourth of July. It was definitely random, but also exactly what I needed! Sometimes, it can get so hard to connect to events, holidays, places…but hearing stories of my parents and grandparents celebrating the same things I celebrate brings with it a sense of belonging in a crazy world. I love my country, I’m grateful for my heritage that celebrates and honors it, and I hope I can continue to live the values that others fight for, and that I’ve been raised with. Happy fourth of July everyone, I’m so grateful for the freedoms that I’ve been given!
