Showing Appreciation

 All of us have people who help us.  When we're young, we get help from family and friends every day.  As we grow we often still get help from family and friends, but now we are able to offer to help them too.  It's important to show appreciation for all the help we receive.  In Canada, we have set aside certain days to do this.  For example, in May, on the second Sunday of the month we celebrate 'Mother's Day'. Next month, we celebrate 'Father's Day' on the third Sunday of the month.
It's nice to recognize all the hard work parents do to make sure we can grow up in a safe and healthy way, but I'm sure we show our appreciation for the help we receive in many ways throughout the year, not just one day of the year. 
Let's start a collection of ideas.  In the comment section, tell how you or others show 'thanks' to people who are important to you and who help you throughout the year.
