Another Thanksgiving Without Him Rolls By
11.24.05 (6:59 pm) [edit]
Tom's unexpectedly early departure from our lives and then moving in with my parents marked the past three years with the forcible changing of our holiday traditions .
The first 2 years being the hardest by far.
This one's for you, Tommy:
You Use To
drop the turkey
twice
on special holidays
glaze the ham
with stubborn certainty
that lime chutney was
just the ticket
sterno steaks
brought
your short lived
grilling career to a
screeching halt
not to be outdone
by the
half- cooked goose
with New Year’s champagne
what I wouldn’t give
to see you
greasing
the kitchen flo or
with poultry
again .
