Hi Marji,

This essay is fantastic. Tried reading it aloud to share with family and started bawling in the middle of it. Handed it to my wife, Kathy, to continue but she couldn’t either. Powerful writing, indeed. Thanks. And Happy Thanksgiving.

If someone can’t appreciate the holiday hook of a jello mold then I can’t help ‘em. Great piece of writing. My only regret is that didn’t read it yesterday. Well done!

This was a beautiful. A moment of humour in a deep felt piece of writing.

Thanks for capturing how Thanksgiving evolves in families, Marji. Brought back so many happy memories and range of emotions! And the ever- present jello mold! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.
