Secretly Thankful

The story I’m told, is my cousin ran a red light, hit an oncoming car and died on impact. This happened the day before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day, my aunt and uncle are preparing for his funeral.
I told my cousin Mike, time and again, he needed to stop fiddling with the radio when driving, because he could cause an accident or kill someone. I never thought that someone would be him.
The turkey sits in the refrigerator, no one wanting to celebrate thanks when a young man died.
Secretly, I’m thankful it isn’t my wife or one of my kids.
