1. Happy Thanksgiving! Share your Thanksgiving Day plans.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today we are heading to my mom’s house to eat turkey and feel grateful together.
I’m grateful that isolating in place is no longer a thing. During Covid Thanksgiving, I had to actually cook dinner for my family for the first time.
I made it all the way to my 40s without needing to know how to make a turkey thanks to my mom being the provider all these years. Unfortunately, she was in a covid “bubble” of protection with Harper, Harper’s mom, and my sister…so there was no feeling thankful together with them.
Although I suppose my brother Joe did get the invite to their feast. He just wasn’t allowed inside. He has made many jokes since then about watching them all eat turkey dinner while he sat on the deck in the cold with his plate.
I didn’t think there was anything that could make me miss that time, but actually, as I type this out I would trade all my unmasked freedom in the world if it meant my brother could drive himself to my sister’s house and eat turkey on her deck again this year instead of being stuck in bed with stupid cancer.
This year I’ll bring a bottle of Crown Royal and take a shot with Joe in that back room. Grateful for at least one more Thanksgiving with him and my family.
