A Modest and Lovely Thanksgiving Feast
Thanksgiving,after all is a word of action---W.J.Cameron
We had finally decided to skip our traditional family dinner and make the holy journey to Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade(游行)with our five-year-old daughter, Kerry. We never anticipated what Kerry would take away from the experience,or how it would affect our lives for years to come.
We caught the dawn train from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central along with hundreds of other excited celebrants.Like many other families we packed a small backpack with sliced turkey sandwiches and juice boxes; eating on the fly in New York City is expensive and complicated,unless you settle for pretzels and roasted chestnuts from a street food stand.Kerry was wide-eyed and a little overwhelmed. This was not her ordinary outing with Mom and Dad.
As the train pulled into the terminal, everyone rose and stood in the passage anxiously waiting to get off and head toward the parade route along Fifth Avenue. Rather than have our little daughter pushed roughly by the crowds, we waited until everyone had stepped off onto the chaos of the platform. As we walked up to the entrance to the terminal,Kerry spotted a homeless woman sitting in the shadows, invisible to all except my curious daughter.
“What's that?” she asked. We looked at each other,caught off guard(猝不及防)by the need to explain something very different than the happy scene we were about to join. During our first years of parenthood we'd discussed how we would explain such nearly ineffable topics as God death, and eventually sex and love.But homelessness? We weren't prepared. We gave as simple and honest an explanation as we could find and continued on to the parade.
The following year, we decided to attend the parade again. So the night before Thanksgiving we went shopping for sliced turkey for sandwiches.
