I'm thankful for my fellow DUers

This will be the first time in our married lives (43 years) that we will spend Thanksgiving without ANY of our children or grandchildren at home. Its harder on my wife than it is on me.
I know that many of my fellow DUers are experiencing the same thing, some without even the company of a spouse. My heart goes out to all of you.
2021 WILL BE A HEALING YEAR!

My daughter and son-in-law live about twenty minutes away. I’ll be going to their house for a pretty fast visit.

The three of us will be masked and we will practice social distancing. We are eating outside. I’ll arrive when the food is ready and I’ll leave as soon as we’ve eaten. I have a face shield to use when the mask comes off for eating.

I am most grateful to be able to do this small thing.

May 2021 truly be a healing year. We all need it.

Best to you and your entire family!

“And what was it that brought the reality of America into closer alignment with its promise of equality, justice, and prosperity?” Biden asked. “It was love. Plain and simple. Love of country and love for one another.”
