It was a Saturday morning, a day I believed would end in victory. For weeks, I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds, sponsored(赞助) by our local riding club. My horse, Tonka, and I could run faster than any kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.

My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(马车) .

Although we never discussed it, my father’s struggle with alcoholism had become the silent center of our family life. My mother was paralyzed (瘫痪的) with fear and indecision. Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn’t possibly support four children. No one talked about alcoholism in those days, and it was my family secret.

We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed toward the fairgrounds, picking up speed once we hit the main road. It wasn’t until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control. The dream of my riding winner disappeared. Tonka lay on the floor, completely still. No words were possible. I knew he was dead.

Suddenly a man appeared. “Are you all right?” he asked. “Yes.”I answered, although I knew that nothing was all right. “Sit here on the grass,” he said. He bent down to look into the trailer. Tonka remained still. He touched Tonka and then turned to face me. “He is going to be OK. He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rubbed Tonka’s cheeks and gently pulled his ears. Tonka rose to his feet.

Our father was talking to a police officer. He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me. I looked back; the man was gone.

I never forgot him. He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.

It would be my first Thanksgiving since my father moved to heaven, and it would also be my first Thanksgiving being away from my family. Holidays are when you can’t be with family, and I was mourning (哀悼)the of my dad and feeling sad about being from my family in Indiana. But, that sadness turned into when it hit me: I was going to have to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving myself!

That night at Dubya’s Restaurant, which was our favorite place to , I began discussing the dilemma (困境)with Jeff.“It’s too bad that this place won’t be on Thanksgiving, or we could just come here,”I said.

Dubya, the owner of the restaurant, happened to be by our table when I said those words.“You mean you expect me to for you on Thanksgiving, too?”he teased (取笑)“ Well, I guess you’ll just have to come to our since the restaurant will be closed then.”.

We’d become with Dubya and his wife, as we ate at Dubya’s twice a week; however, I didn’t think we were close enough to Thanksgiving dinner with his family. I was sure he was . But as we headed toward the door, Dubya handed Jeff a note with directions to their house and their phone number. “You’re ?” I asked “Of course,” he said.

And, two days later, we reached Dubya’s house. Everyone us. As expected, the food was marvelous but the company was even better. We truly felt that we there.
