On Thanksgiving, I served salmon to my three guests as they do not eat meat. Nevertheless, we all had a good time and enjoyed the evening. Yet after they left and I finished cleaning the kitchen, I must admit I felt a bit sad. My son and daughter spent the holiday with their in-laws, both my parents are deceased, and my sister and I are not close. And so my Thanksgiving celebration, as nice as it was, did not include either my family close-by or turkey on the dinner table.
I wish I knew why I felt sad this year, as it didn’t bother me last Thanksgiving when I also served fish to these same three friends. Perhaps the rift between my sister and me that intensified this summer weighs heavily upon my heart. I just don’t know. But, at least I can look forward to next week. Wednesday night is the first night of Chanukah and I always invite my children and their families to a holiday dinner of latkes (potato pancakes). And this Chanukah I have decided I will also serve TURKEY !!!!
