For the first time since we were married over ten years ago, my wife and I will be spending Thanksgiving at our own home. In past years, we always went to visit my parents or her relatives. Now that both of my parents have passed away and her relatives are "getting up there" in age, we really don't have a Thanksgiving to go to. It is somewhat of a different, but pleasant feeling. Our plan is to stay home, watch some football and have a different type of Thanksgiving meal. We are going to prepare the traditional side dishes - stuffing, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, etc. However, we are both "going solo" when it comes to the main dish. I am going to have pizza and she is going to have shrimp.
As we enjoy the day, I will give thanks that both of my parents had the opportunity to live long, fruitful and relatively healthy lives. Many people don't have the opportunity to have both parents around for so long.
