I didn't know them at the time, but their coming into my life has caused me to focus on other things.

She pulled out the supplies she needed to make the stuffing and wiped her hands on her apron. "This is the first year I've cooked the dinner. I'm so grateful for the help. I don't know how I'd get everything done by themselves. Of course the men have no idea how hard we work. The just come and stuff their faces."
