I've never really celebrated US Thanksgiving, being Canadian and living my whole life between Montreal and Ottawa. But half my family is American and it's always been close to my pulse, and my heart is always warmed by the stories of people who travel great distances to get together with family to share a meal, and a hug (or two).
This year, just a month or so after my American grandmother passed away, Thanksgiving seems even more poignant. I remember the last meal we shared together, when we went to visit them in Phoenix, Arizona two years ago so my daughter could spend some time with her great grandparents. I remember how she shared her favorite recipe for cucumber salad with me. I guess this is why Thanksgiving means so much to so many people - it's about the most important things in life (family, love... and well... pie!), and being grateful for all of those. And sharing with others.
So a very happy, and healthy Thanksgiving to all of you who will be celebrating.
