Me and my girl were fixing a nice thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings at my place.
Dad has been way in the dumps since mom died last christmas. So I asked and asked him to at least come over for some thanksgiving dinner with us (he only lives 6 miles away) no go, he's reluctant, doesn't want to celbrate.
So I pick up mom's stuffing recipie today and ask him again - "it will be good for you"
He called back later and said he would like to join us.
So I had some resemblence of family on turkey day and I saw my dad smile for the first time in a long time. It felt so good to bring a little joy/ritual into his life even though he is really down.
Man I'm glad he could make it. Not only that, I needed him to make the gravy.
I'm thankful that I could do something for my dad.
