It was a different city. There were no hand turkeys. Many people were missing from the table. But I am so, so thankful for the people in my life who have made room for me these past few years. It might not seem like a lot to ask people to share your holiday by eating a boatload of delicious food, but I am still staggered by the generosity and love.
