Our family has been blessed to celebrate meals together over the years. Now that my sister and I are grown and my dad, it has imperative that we take these opportunities that we have with each other. We don’t have particular dishes that we cook; we eat out. But there are times throughout the year where we convene frequently.

These are

• My Dad’s birthday
• Christmas
• Thanksgiving

Those dates listed above are more significant to me than what we eat. The people around us make the occasion memorable. I’m fortunate to have those people (family and friends) with me on those special holidays. They make the experience worthwhile.
