Grace

Honey, will you say a little something for grace before we dig into dinner? Mom just asked me.

Oh jeez. I don’t even believe in god. I can’t say that though. I don’t think I even remember that meal prayer I used to say religiously—hah—like the pledge of allegiance before every meal when I was a kid. Something about bless you oh lord…

Honey?

Um. I stared down at my plate.

I am thankful for health, friends, and family. Let’s take a moment to think about what we’re all thankful for. Amen.

Great grace, honey, Mom smiled at me.
