Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I always do pause for a moment and reflect on things I am thankful for today, as well as the many things that have made me thankful previously. At Thanksgiving, I always remember Charlie O’Brien, the best friend I ever had and the person that I spent more Thanksgiving with than anyone—with the possible exception of Paula. He was my mentor, my big brother and someone who I had seemingly endless heated and wonderful arguments.
Lovely to be able to read this annually, Shel. Always brings a tear to my eye. He is deeply missed but lives on in our stories. Thank you for sharing this. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Paula.

What a gift Charlie was. And how wonderful of you to share this gift with us, Shel. Grateful for your stories.
