Why are you giving thanks this year? These were the most moving responses from our audience

(CNN Spanish) – Thanksgiving tradition in the United States goes beyond a grand turkey dinner, a balloon parade or frantic shopping to take advantage of discounts: it is about getting together with family or friends to say thank you. As the pandemic has passed two years and in the midst of a time of global economic uncertainty, this opportunity is valuable to give thanks for all the good that life gives us.

We asked our followers on social media why they are saying thank you this year and collected some of the most exciting and eye-catching responses.
