This weekend is Thansgiving. It's the second Thanksgiving that I've missed being with family since living here. This year was definitely harder than last year because a surprised party was planned for both my grandparents. That basically meant a big family reunion where they live, and it just seemed like so much fun. I already love thanksgiving because of the family I get to see, so it was just extra special this year. It makes me look forward to Christmas even more, because even though I don't get to see the rest of the family, I get to see my parents, dogs, and grandparents.
I actually decided to make a semi thanksgiving dinner this year. No turkey of course because there is just 2 of us and we have a tiny oven, but we bought a small half ham and we're going to do mashed potatoes, yams, and stuffing. The stuffing is from a box.. haha.. it's something I'll have to learn how to make for the future, but it'll do for now. It makes it obvious how I have an emotional attachment to food.. because making thanksgiving food makes me feel closer to my family this weekend. It's silly but it's sentimental and makes me feel a bit better.
It's not silly, it's missing the people you love. We had lots of conversations about you, so you were missed too. So glad you made the most of your day with Jaspaul.
