About a month ago, we traveled back to Minnesota to visit family. We couldn’t wait to introduce my new daughter to the extended relatives. My mom hosted a delicious mid-west steak and potato feast with some of the family. Everything was just how I remembered it. But then I noticed my Aunt sobbing at the kitchen island. I went to see if she was okay and she could hardly even look at me in the face. She said, “I’m just so embarrassed. Did you know that I have dentures now? I have been so anxious about coming to dinner tonight, especially knowing your mom would be serving steak.”
