The idea last year was we needed to take flight and not be home for Thanksgiving, but in the end we stayed home. Tony and David's birthday was that weekend and we all gathered around the table for a huge feast. But this year is a very different Thanksgiving not having the boys home for their birthday's or a turkey feast.
So what is one to do when traditions shift? Stay home and try to make it happen with fewer family members or step out and change it up? We choose the latter. Tony will be spending the day at the home of a friend and David, well Thanksgiving is really not a Scottish tradition, so he will do a makeshift celebration with his American friends. We will be in Charleston with rosemary to toss in the bay for Joe.
It seems scattered but in reality it is closer than ever. We keep in touch through emails, Skype and text messages. We are moving on to new territory, totally expected, but the four of us make sure we are always in contact.
And that is what I give thanks for this holiday.
