Thanksgiving
I hope all of you have a Happy Thanksgiving. This is a pre-written entry, because I won’t have high-speed internet access at my parents’ house. Today, I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. My sister and I decided to relieve my mom of the task and let her relax and enjoy the holiday. I will also be stressing out as this is the first holiday I’ve ever taken a boyfriend home to meet my parents. I’m sure it will go well, but I get nervous about things like this.
I am thankful to have a family who is so open and supportive of me. Who welcomed my boyfriend without a second thought. For my sister and her boyfriend who were avid opponents of Prop 8. For my adorable niece who is such a firecracker. For my boyfriend who is helping me learn what it feels like to love again. For my friends who provide me with such a wonderful grounding. These may be tough times, but I have so much to be thankful for.
