Dear Joe, Yes, I am thankful for the thirty pound turkey. And I especially enjoyed the company. My grandmother was at my side in that little cup of lime jello salad. And damned proud, I'm sure, that I ate it for someone else! I am thankful for the fistful of Monarch butterflies at the Natural History Museum. I could hear them sucking dessert off of the sponge feeder. Oh, and you taught me two new trees. First, the Dombeya beckoned me with it's hanging pink snowball ornaments. Second, the blue eyes of the pigeonberry blinked as if to say "Choose me for your front yard, I'd be honored." Thanksgiving brunch was quite an eye opener at the Gay Jewish deli. The subtle rainbows around the community brightened my day, as did the little girl with the paper plate mask who told me to "Have a nice day" in her loudest voice. When the windshield wipers went kaput in the pouring rain, you knew just what to do. Well, okay, we got lucky. But it was you who got soaked and never complained. Thank you for you, for Thanksgiving and for all that you give to me. Love, Whitney |
