The prompt is What Thanksgiving Memory Are You Grateful For?
I'm grateful for the memory of making Thanksgiving Dinner one year for my father, mother, and grandmother. My brother and his partner (later wife) were in California at the time (I think). Mother wasn't supposed to be making dinner due to skin cancer surgery - she had a place removed from her nose - it was nothing, I don't know why she couldn't do it. It was also basil cell - which is easy to eradicate. No lasting damage. But whatever.
I remember them both, mother and grandmother hovering. Three generations of women in a small kitchen. It's a memory I treasure to this day - particularly when my grandmother taught me to make the pies, but I kicked her out so I could make my own cranberry sauce.
My father watched football, falling asleep in his chair. When he wasn't outside raking leaves.
It was ages ago. And a treasured memory, along with many others. I'm grateful to have so many positive memories of Thanksgiving. I've done it with friends, family, immediate and otherwise over the years.
