Best Thanksgiving

We have missed Thanksgiving with our son for a long time. It was time. Long past time. It was the best Thanksgiving ever.

We stayed in a hotel

That felt wrong

From the beginning.

No details here.

The dinner at the pricey restaurant

Had no turkey

On the menu,

Nothing with cranberries

Even.

The portions were small.

We left hungry.

Still

We laughed at the bill.

The next day

We ate like kings and queens,

Sat at the bar

And watched the son

And brother

In his element.

Black Friday

Was not Black.

It offered a spectrum

Of white light

Every color

Of the rainbow

And then some.

It was the best Thanksgiving

Ever.
