Tampa Residents Share Thankfulness For 2021
By MONIQUE STAMPS Sentinel Feature Writer
Thanksgiving day is here, with thoughts of delicious food, football games, and time spent with friends and family.
With modern families jug- gling COVID protocols, virtual celebrations, or in person vis- its, it’s easy to let the logistics of the holiday get in the way of truly celebrating why this day is so important.
We asked Tampa residents to share with us the reasons they are thankful this year. From young to older, our resi- dents shared their very per- sonal reasons to be thankful this year, is to cherish what life has given you.
