Helen McGhee listened to the quiet tick tock of the grandfather clock. She enjoyed reading from her bible in the early morning and today was no different. It was the morning of Thanksgiving and she was up early to get the turkey ready. She was about to doze off in her chair when she heard a key in the front door. She heard the door open and somebody standing in the entryway.
She smiled. " Kirby".
" Happy Thanksgiving Mom" he said quietly. He walked over and gave her a peck on a cheek. " I'm glad to see you".
She clutched her small hands into his. " I just prayed that you would come". She grinned. " God answered my prayer". She looked at her youngest son. " You look thin, have you been eating alright?".
" I'm doing fine Mom". He unzipped his coat. " I would not miss today for anything".
" Uncle Kirby" squealed four year old Duncan Evans who was wearing Tony the Tiger pajamas. He ran up to his uncle and hugged his knees.
" And how is Tony the Tiger doing today?".
He jumped for joy. " Grreat!".
