Thanksgiving
is always a time for reflection. While it’s been a crazy year, we do have a lot to give thanks for… but I’m not going to get into that now.
Right now I’m giving thanks for hanging out with my family, for the big turkey my sister-in-law made, for all the side dishses my sisters, mom and I put together (in my parent’s apartment, no longer the house that I grew up in, which made cooking an adventure). After dinner, when we had all eaten too much and were laying on the couches and one of my sisters made a "family" joke that had us all laughing, my sister-in-law looked over and said
"Sometimes, doesn’t it feel like you just never left?"
It made me so happy that she said that, because I had been thinking of all the moments like this that I miss. But her remark made me realize that I’ll always be part of this, no matter how far away I live.
Happy Thanksgiving

That’s so nice. I feel that way when I go “home” too. Everything just fits. Glad you had such a good time.
