Thanksgiving, just another day alone for me. My 5 siblings do their own thing with their spouses side of the family. After our mother passed away in 2005 we only got together at Christmas. Starting this year we don't even have that decided on by others in the family. I'll have a bowl of soup for dinner and eat in my bedroom with the TV on so it feels slightly less lonely.

I’m sorry, Rebecca. A parent is so often the glue that holds a family together. It never is the same once they pass away.
