About Family Gathering
A particular stillness settles right before everyone sits down, coats on the bed, the smell of something roasting, candles already lit. Thanksgiving draws the scattered back: the cousin from far away, the neighbor who has nowhere else to be, the youngest who has grown an inch since spring. The table holds it all, the food, yes, but more than that, the grace said aloud, the laughter that spills over, and the quiet knowledge that everyone you love is in the same room.
