DEAR EDITOR:
I was at Nob Hill picking up a few things and I overheard some people in line loudly talking about Thanksgiving and complaining about how it was “their year” to host it.
One person suggested burning the turkey so no one would want to come back and they wouldn’t have to do it next year. They complained back and forth in line and I wanted to turn around and tell them that I would gladly host the next 10 Thanksgivings if I could have my Dad there, even if it was just for that one day a year, and that even if I did burn the turkey I know he would come back the next year, as I would want him to … that is, if he was still alive.
But I couldn’t say anything because I was choking back my tears thinking about how much I’ll miss him at our Thanksgiving table this year. I could never consider hosting Thanksgiving dinner for my family to be a burden.
