My Daddy left home when I was three, he didn't leave much for Ma and me, 'cept this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
I can remember watching Macy’s Thanksgiving as a kid. My Old Man would eventually get up, drink some coffee, and smoke a cigarette, before saying in a disgusted voice “turn that shit off.”

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
