Day 841 Thanks Dave

28th November 2019

It was thanksgiving, and we were the hosts.

For us it was the best place to bring the family together. Our home had no reminders of Dave, except what was in our hearts.

Kelli set out the table, which was the first time it had been extended since we moved in.

As always Kelli did a great job of dressing it with multi-coloured plates and her crazy wine glasses of every shape, style and shade we had left from the wedding.

She then made a shepherd’s pie using lentils instead of meat. The other guests brought all the food for themselves.

We had decided to make this a happy event, and to use it to celebrate Dave by telling stories of some of his crazy exploits.

There were some tears, but the laughter was louder and more meaningful.

By 9.00pm everybody was leaving, from my position, I thought the evening went better than I had hoped.
