Thanksgiving won't be the same this year – but there’s plenty to be thankful for | Nancy Jo Sales

I know my daughter and I will be a little sad without our found family this holiday, but we'll hope that, by this time next year, we can all be together again

I love Thanksgiving. Not the Thanksgiving of American myth, where benevolent pilgrims revel in the harvest with their good friends the Natives, whom they would never think of enslaving or massacring - not that insidious lie - but the Thanksgiving of my own making, the one that has become a tradition for me and my daughter and our found family. And I wonder how it will feel, this year, to not be able to gather and celebrate together.
