"Grateful" by John Bucchino (sung by Stuart Matthew Price)

I discovered this song, Grateful, one year ago and fell in love with it. Yesterday was Thanksgiving, and it was my first real Thanksgiving (yap, turkey and food). I spent time at friends’ place and also my advisor’s place.

When I was back home yesterday, I was full and exhausted. I went on my bed and try to call my family using Skype. My mom was not at home at the time, but my aunt was there. We had an amusing conversation about whether she should go to the performance in the afternoon (It was in the morning at Taiwan).

Later, I got some recommendations from Youtube, and this video was one of them. I am surprised at the reencounter, and yet not surprised at all why this happened. It is Thanksgiving, and people express their appreciation and gratefulness.

The melody is really beautiful, and the lyrics truly fits my mentality.

Yap, I came to this city(Ann Arbor) with strangers two years ago.

Now I have a family of friends (yes, you guys.)

I am grateful for that.

I might not be able to sing something like this now, but I will.
