Thanksgiving over Video Call

"Yes, mom!" I said exasperated into my phone. "I'm setting up my computer right now okay?" I opened up my laptop and opened Facebook Messenger. It took forever to load up because of my spotty internet. I hated having to see my family this way because the quality was so horrible. "Okay sweetie i was just making sure you were because were all already online." My mom said to me through the phone. "Okay mom see you in a sec." I hung up the phone and opened the voice call in the group chat. It took me almost ten minutes just to get the screen loaded Bing! I was greeted by the beautiful, glitchy, faces of my family. My mom looked lovingly at her camera. "Hi!" I said with a huge smiled on my face. "Hon- did you get my in the mail?" My grandma said slowly. Her words were cut off, but i assumed she was talking about the food that she had sent me in the mail last week. We live close together so she just got a friend to deliver it to me. "Yes, i did grandma. It was very good i appreciate it." She smiled at me and turned to something off camera. "Should we all say what were thankful for?" My mom asked. "I'll start!" My grandma said in a happy voice. I think thanksgiving was her favorite holiday "I'm thankful for so many things this year. I'm thankful for all of my family, even the ones who aren't here this year....." She paused and smiled a little. My grandfather had passed away from the Corona-Virus recently. "I'm so thankful for my beautiful granddaughter, She brings me joy every day with her amazing food creations to keep me busy during these hard times. I'm also thankful for my beautiful daughter who Helped me through a great loss this year." My grandma had tears in her eyes by the time she finished. I had been sending a lot of tiktok food creations so she would have something to do during quarentine. It made her very happy. "I'll go next." My mom said. "I am so thankful for my beautiful daughter who makes every day of my life a day worth living. I'm sure if she weren't here, i wouldn't be here either." There was a single tear running down her face i think. it was hard to tell because of her camera quality. "I'll go next" I said quietly. I am thankful for my entire family who makes me feel loved every single day." I said. My Grandma and my Mom both smiled. " I wish we could hug right now." i said through my tears. "God i hate having to constantly do everything over video chat." "Me too" My Mom said. "Bye guys i'll see you later." I said waving. "bye" My mom and grandma said. I hovered over the end call button. "I love you guys." I said. And then i hung up. I wondered what Christmas would be like as i poured my water. I hope by then we won't have to use voice chat. But were afraid that since my mom works at a hospital we might no get to see each other in person until next year. I turned on some music and started writing a story i'm working on. it's about finding yourself in a crisis. I have a word quota to fill and i'm having trouble finding the words to put in it. I laughed thinking of how my last two words that i needed to fill the quota were going to be The End. The leftovers of the food my grandma made me were still in the fridge so i got some of that out and put it in the microwave. I turned it on and started looking at tiktok. soon enough five minutes passed and i gasped and and threw the microwave door open as fat as i could. I rushed to get the food out of the microwave but as soon as i touched the plate it burned my hands. it was too late. the food had sadly burned. i sat down at the table and cried until i heard a Bing! My grandma sent me a text saying she had too much food and asked if i wanted any. God i love my grandma. i texted back yes and went and lied down in my bed to wait for the food to arrive. The food arrived in the hands of one of my grandmas friends. I was so happy that i almost started crying in my driveway. My grandmas friend looked at my with a strange look and speed out of the driveway. i lived in a pretty small house so she must've thought i was starving or something. I laughed and ran back inside to eat some food. I carefully opened the walmart bag full of food and placed it on my table. I grabbed all of the food and set it out on the table. I thanked my grandma on the phone while eating a mouthful of food
