Since I cannot cook to save my life - beyond the basics anyway - and I really don't want to go home to the awkward silent meal with my mother that would await me I decided to order in food and bring it to the children's ward for the little kiddies who are unable to spend Thanksgiving at home.
It's been an incredible experience - they are so sweet and it's wonderful to see them all smile. Storytime later and before that some gentle games. I can't help thinking this is really what it should all be about.
