we're not celebrating thanksgiving in italy today so when i’m missing the way things were it’s easier to be here
and at the same time more difficult
recalling time-honored family traditions with my parents and grandparents as well as new rituals my own family-of-four created

interesting, the twists and turns of life
wishing everyone in the states a day of coziness and good cheer (with a special shout-out to my favorite two) tweet
