It would be my first Thanksgiving since my father moved to heaven, and it would also be my first Thanksgiving being away from my family. Holidays are____ when you can’t be with family, and I was mourning (哀悼)the ____ of my dad and feeling sad about being ____ from my family in Indiana. But, that sadness turned into ____ when it hit me: I was going to have to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving ____ myself!
That night at Dubya’s Restaurant, which was our favorite place to____ , I began discussing the dilemma (困境)with Jeff.“It’s too bad that this place won’t be ____ on Thanksgiving, or we could just come here,”I said.
Dubya, the owner of the restaurant, happened to be____ by our table when I said those words.“You mean you expect me to ____ for you on Thanksgiving, too?”he teased (取笑)“ Well, I guess you’ll just have to come to our ____ since the restaurant will be closed then.”.
We’d become____ with Dubya and his wife, as we ate at Dubya’s twice a week; however, I didn’t think we were close enough to ____ Thanksgiving dinner with his family. I was sure he was ____ But as we headed toward the door, Dubya handed Jeff a note with directions to their house and their phone number. “You’re ____ ?” I asked “Of course,” he said.

Of course, I wrote them a thank-you note the next week, but I couldn’t really____ into words what that Thanksgiving dinner ____ had meant to us. I’ve never forgotten their kindness and that very ____ Thanksgiving.
