First Thanksgiving
The turkey is in the oven, and I breathe in the flavor. The table is set, and the apple pie is cooling on the counter; the sweet smell makes me want to eat a piece before the family arrives.
This is the first Thanksgiving I’ve hosted since Brad’s passing, and this had been his favorite holiday. He’d always sneak a taste of the raisin stuffing I’d make special for him before anyone would arrive.
I’m sitting with my feet up sipping white wine, savoring the flavor when the doorbell rings.
I take a deep breath and head to the door.
