Stories of Immigrants and Thanksgiving

Immigrants are a reality of the world. In the modern world, when numerous other issues are occurring, one of the gifts we have is immigration. The reasons behind the immigration are not soft and smooth every time. Some people have to leave their country due to bad economic, education, personal life and sometimes for survival. No matter what is the case, it is always hard and struggling to come up with the idea of leaving your state and moving to any other place. Not one has the courage to do it, but in certain conditions, some brave people do it.

Thanksgiving is a time of year when everyone embraces each other, shares food, shares happiness and has a good time together. It is a time to thank for all the blessings and look forward to a happy life. For immigrants, things are quite critical at that time. In a new state, they struggled hard to achieve some status, but all the memories they left behind are still there.  It is the time when there is a need for a Special Thanksgiving Day episode in everyone’s life with the stories of immigrants. When we are giving time to our family and loved ones, and then why not appreciate the people who are now a part of us.
