So this Thanksgiving was unlike any I have lived through before. There was no big fancy feast at the family get together, no trip to Scott Air Force Base and no big pumpkin pie baked by my grandma. There was only me, my brothers, my mom and dad all at home eating a turkey my mom had personally baked several hours before. It was a quiet time and we all talked and joked with each other. I am just not use to small dinners on holidays where before we had several times our own family all eating till our eyes bugged out of our heads.
The time before the holiday was quick, it usually is. Since growing up, I have realized that holidays are just that, one day a year and are over just as quickly as they come. I don't pretend I am not sad. But on the bright side I have a whole year ago to prepare for just that one special moument in which time will slow and I will see the faces of all my loved ones.
