Every Thanksgiving my family and I, along with others, prepare and serve Thanksgiving meals for the people in our small mountain community. My husband and I also bring meals the disabled.
Last Thanksgiving we did the same. After (deliver) them to some individual apartments, we went to the central dining room. We put the boxes (fill) with turkey, ham, stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes, gravy and green bean casserole(砂锅菜) on the tables. People invited (we) to stay, and thanked us, we had other deliveries and had to leave. As we started to go out, I turned around and saw them all (watch) us. Then, I asked, "Would anybody like a hug?" They lined up. There was so much (warm) in each hug.
My eyes were filled with tears and my heart with love. I now visit (occasion) to chat and, of course, hug. This year at my Thanksgiving delivery, when they line up their hugs, I am going to have them turn around and hug each other. These people have no family at Thanksgiving—what could be (good) for them than hugs!
