When my *favorite* holiday rolls around every year, I outwardly project how unbelievably excited I am to gather 'round the Thanksgiving table with family, share stories, and reconnect while devouring a beautiful, homemade meal with the people I love most. But...
...in reality, I'm actually chomping at the bit to witness the imminent family drama, catastrophic cooking mishaps, cringeworthy political debates...and also those shockingly heartwarming moments that make you feel all warm 'n' fuzzy inside.
For instance: one time, my aunt tripped over a family member's totally blind dog on her way to fill up her dinner plate, and broke her literal leg.
Yes, another time my uncle whipped up some twice-baked potatoes using vanilla coffee creamer instead of heavy cream, and TBH, my entire family quietly locking eyes as we tried to choke down the sickeningly sweet, cheesy potatoes was a moment I'll never forget.
And, during a recent Thanksgiving, my partner came out to his *95-year-old*, born-and-raised West Virginian grandfather...who responded with "I've loved you ever since you were a little baby, and this doesn't change that one bit."
