The critical few
We hosted Thanksgiving again this year, but it ended up being a far different affair than in recent history. Usually we have various branches of the family come from the area, resulting in 16-20 folks.
This year it turned out that the other branches of the family had other dinners to go to or host. So as we sat down to dinner, we had 5… Terri and our three collective kids (now grown). Soon we were joined by the youngest member of the family, our 6 year old granddaughter.
So there wasn’t the hustle and bustle of years past, but it was a lovely Thanksgiving nonetheless. We reflected on our first Thanksgiving for our assembled family unit, 21 years ago to the day. Lots of smiles, warm thoughts, and a couple of tears shed as we reflected on how we were thankful to have each other.
Thanksgiving, indeed.
