Thanksgiving was at the Urie beach house again this year. The setting, 100 feet above the beach, is spectacular. Ever since separating in 2003, this has become the substitute ritual for me. They have invited me into their family with such ease and open arms and I have come to know the different members of Walter's extended family as though they were mine. The food was mouth-watering and the amazing aroma conjured up deep memories of when I had my own family to celebrate with. It was not the same but a welcomed reminder of one of life's sweet treasures – raising a family.
