We were gathered around the dinner table the night before I left for a week of Thanksgiving vacation with my boyfriend's family. I have five siblings. It is a fairly large family.
It was the first holiday my entire family would not be together and everyone felt rather ceremonial and solemn. My mother made a point of getting everyone's attention and saying a few words about the transition our family was going through and how important it all was.
"Does anyone have anything they would like to say to Molly before she goes?" She asked.
Without missing a beat, my entire family says, in unison, "Bye Molly!"
