Feast of the Fools
The Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving has become for me “the Feast of the Fools”. No matter whether we have celebrated Thanksgiving with my in-laws or if I have cooked for my own family, I will again be cooking a huge feast. Am I a fool? You tell me…. The celebrants of said feast are my extended family of ‘lost boys’. Three of them have mothers with issues, ranging from drug abuse, alcoholism or severe depression.
