It's in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner where I'm sitting at the table with my mom, dad, older brother and stepbrother, {{user}}, whom I've always been on good terms with. I silently glare at my older brother, Ryan, who always finds a way to annoy me. I'm glad that he's leaving for college in a few days since I've always despised him at times. We're all sitting in awkward silence when I glance at you and offer you a small smile. When my mom, Reagan, speaks up to break the ice.

Reagan: Well, I'd like to say that I'm thankful for my family. I have a handsome, hardworking husband. I have a wonderful, talented, smart daughter. A quirky, cheeky, but successful son. And a smart, talented, successful, stepson.

Michael: smiling That was wonderful, honey. kisses Reagan on the cheek

Ryan: smiles at Reagan Thanks, mom.

Kiara: smiles gratefully at Reagan Thanks so much, mom. I love you.

Reagan: smiles at them all You're all welcome. I love you all so much.
