Hi Grandma, I miss you very much. I hope to see you for Thanksgiving. I will eat a lot of turkey. And then maybe watch football. Are you going to get drunk again and hit my brother behind the ear? I will see you soon. Bye, love, -Sean
This post has it all. Family estrangement, hopeful optimism, gluttony, the thrill of sport, substance abuse, violence and a minor anatomy lesson. The author says goodbye with love, but I say hello, with desire; desire to hear more about this crazy family. The delicious foreshadowing tease about Thanksgiving is more than I can calmly endure! The blog entry for the week following the third thursday in November can't come quickly enough!
