Great story.

My family immigrated as well, from the former Soviet Union, but thankfully we had help and I got my citizenship only 5 years after moving to the US.

I really am thankful every day that my parents braved the incredible hardships of moving to the other side of the world to a country where everything was different from what they knew.

If it wasn't for them making this decision, I wouldn't have the incredible opportunities that I do today.

Just wanted to chime in that I recently had a very similar conversation with my parents. Thanked them and chatted about the effort they went through to uproot their entire life and immigrate.

Guess what I'm trying to say is, if you've been putting off giving thanks for something similar, now is a better time than ever.
