I always have Thanksgiving at my best friend's parents' house. They make this frankly impressive sushi spread with all the bells and whistles. We're talking eel, homemade sushi rice, eggs, avocado, various fresh and cured meats, imitation crab, a variety of sauces,... just all that stuff (forgive me for not naming it all for reasons that will become clear in a minute). All restaurant quality. Each person just fills their plate with their favorite sushi ingredients and hand rolls their own.
Here's where the story takes a turn. You see, I can't stand sushi.
I know, I know!
It's not for lack of trying mind you. I've tried it every way you can think of (even without meat of any kind) and my stomach screams NOPE! every time. Can't even sit at the table because of the smell (autistic super sniffer ftw!). It's THAT bad. But this is my family (the one I chose). I love them. So the second year I went in expecting not to eat. The company was worth it for me and I could always grab something on the way home. I was even planning on sitting by everyone and hiding my discomfort because that's what you do... right?
What I wasn't expecting was to be stopped by my best friend's mom. In the livingroom and away from the sushi, there was a small table set up with a few slices of ham (I've always favored it over turkey), homemade biscuits (made with rice milk because I have a dairy allergy) with honey to dip it in (another of my favorites), and sweet potatos with brown sugar and nondairy butter. For context, my birth family would have made me feel guilty for being "extra" and not bothered to cook around my food allergy (even pressured me to eat it anyway at times). I went in there EXPECTING to go hungry and hoping nobody got mad at me for it. What I wasn't expecting was for anybody to take the time out of their day to fix something just for me, just because they wanted to. No tricks. No manipulation. No strings. Just... food. For me.
That was five years ago. Mom (yes I call her that now) just messaged my best friend (now roommate) and I to make sure we'd be there for Thanksgiving. Wanted to know if there was room in our fridge for leftover sushi for Sarah and ham and biscuits for me. I don't think I'll ever get used to how they treat me, but I don't think I'll ever stop being grateful for it either.

Note: I am about to post this to my FB page for my family to see. The vulnerability is on the table so to speak. But it feels good to let it out especially after this year. RIP <3
If you know, then you already know. Move along. For those who don’t know, this is the room where I first fell in love with Thanksgiving. A meal made with love on a simple day filled with family. Football playing in the other room. Snow on the ground. Peas and carrots and other food passed around the table. Grace was said with more thankfulness than can be spoken. The years passed, the room changed, and family members faded away. But the holiday remained the same. Togetherness. A day to be thankful not only for the present but for the past and the memories that were created. -SLM
