For years, my wife and I hosted Thanksgiving every year. My parents, her parents and most of our families would come. Sometimes we had 20+ people at the table.
About 5 years ago, I had a falling out with several of my family members, and we haven’t seen each other or spoken since. It was over something stupid, but it can’t be simply resolved by “getting over it” or “moving past it”. Misunderstandings never are.
While I love my family and hope that they have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I am particularly thankful today for my in-laws. I ouldn’t have married into a better family.
