The dinner is ready, and no one showed up. You wonder why, but you have no answer. No one had to bring anything you had the main course and all the sides of a variety as well as all kinds of desserts and drinks. No one calls either. You begin to wonder again and check your phone for any messages and still nothing. You decide to go ahead and make your own Thanksgiving plate and say a prayer of grace and thanksgiving for one did show up for he is the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Happy Thanksgiving to me.

Thanksgiving, the big day!
The big day of family has arrived. The turkey is in the oven and the side dishes whatever they may be are cooking away. The parade is on the television and the table is set for the good china and silverware in a festive way. As the day wears on and getting closer to dinnertime you begin to notice that nobody has arrived or even sent a message of any kind. You wait awhile longer, but dinner is ready, and no one is here. You check your phone and there are no messages. Well, Happy Thanksgiving to me, let's eat.

Fair or foul? Florida wedding venue refuses refund to woman after her fiancé dies
It is fair and rational and good that the wedding venue never canceled the deposits made by Tye Hinson. After the sudden passing of her fiance, Hinson was stuck with a $7600 fee for services that would’ve been rendered. She claimed she knows contracts but apparently she didn’t read the fine print on this one.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

Oh, this is so sad, please tell me this didn’t happen. If it’s fiction, then you certainly got your readers attention!
So sorry 😔 Hope this didn't really happen to you. 😢 People were sick in my family and it was smaller than usual.❤️
Belated Happy Thanksgiving, Mark. I am saddened that you felt so alone in a crowd - it's a horrible way to feel. Take heart, because from your drabble, it's apparent you prefer to focus on the gifts you do have as well as the positive. This drabble was well executed, however, clearly evoking the loneliness and sadness you must have experienced. Your writing has really excelled.
I sincerely hope you didn’t spend the day alone! If so, I hope it was still filled with Thanksgiving and peace.
