This time last year we were likely at home celebrating Thanksgiving with more shadows than usual hanging over our heads.
Fallout from COVID-19 brought anxiety, fear. Families stayed apart to protect others; celebrations were delayed or cancelled.
Even football was frustrating. A channel through which people normally come together and connect turned into a pivot point of disagreement and argument. Tailgates were held in backyards or in living rooms. On-field results, however trivial in comparison, were disappointing as well.
Thanksgiving 2021.
Things are… closer to normal. People can now safely gather with family for holidays or in Waco on Saturdays.
