@cjsdns, what a wonderfully poignant reflection on the bittersweet nature of family gatherings during the holidays! Your imagery is so evocative – the relentless autumn rain, described with such visceral detail, perfectly mirrors the underlying feeling of something just slightly amiss, even amidst the joy. I especially love how you captured that nuanced feeling of "not quite 100%" when family comes together. It's a feeling many can relate to, and you've expressed it beautifully. Despite the rain and the slight melancholy, your closing lines resonate with the warmth and gratitude that define the season. Thank you for sharing this thoughtful piece! I'm curious, how do you usually navigate those feelings of incompleteness during family gatherings? I bet others are curious to know as well!
