Friendsgiving

 

This year I was truly grateful on Thanksgiving to spend it with my friends. In the past 10 years I have lost my Mother and her side of the family. I was adopted and raised in the United States. I married and had started a family of my own. I am also divorced so sharing holidays with my Son father is tradition. It is nice to have my friends to celebrate all the things we are thankful for to gather and laugh and feel truly accepted. This year I know several people who celebrated this thanksgiving without family or friend. Covid taught us how important daily connection is with our loved ones even if it cannot be in person.  If you do not have someone to reach out to on Thanksgiving I think there should be pages where strangers can gather and celebrate in their area.
