A Different Thanksgivng

Thanksgiving is near and it is the time that my whole family come together and spend time with one another. it has been like that since before i was born. Every year, we would all go to my grandmothers house and basically eat, and laugh with one another. I always looked forward to going there every year. But this year is going to be different and when i mean diferent, our Thanksgiving has totally changed due to the passing of my grandmother this passed April. With the passing of my grandmother, it meant that her house was up for sell.
With Thanksgiving around the corner it meant that my family had to choose a different house to celebrate at. My house was choosen. as my mom called the family to let them know the plans, one of my family members decided that they were not going to show up because it wasnt going to be the same. Now i know that the passing of my grandmother hurt that person bad, but it hurt everyone else as well. We all have to make the changed and i believe that we should make the changed together. Being around family members especially with this situation is the best way, i believe, to move on in life when something like this happens. I miss my grandmother so so very much and i do not think that she would want her family not to come together on this holiday just because she is not with us anymore. To me, I fell like that its just plan selfiness of that person who doesnt want to come. What im hoping is that this person will stop and realize what mistake that will be made if the desicion is not to come.
