tonight

Am missing "Miracle on 34th Street"
the remake
to be up here typing
a family tradition
that movie
every Thanksgiving night
it never fails

home
the original home
before dorm rooms and studios
before the concept of home became more or less unclear
when it only existed within these walls

i hope everyone can be with their families tonight
i hope everyone is wrapped in the warmth that only comes from their closeness
it's been a long year
and we deserve it

i figure
family is what you make of it
family is whatever you create
whoever surrounds you at any given time
friends
pets
relatives
lovers
mine is growing
and life is right
give thanks
until the end
