The girl in the picture is called Wanda and lives in California. It's 2016. Thanksgiving is approaching, preparations are in full swing. She sends a group message to her family members. Thanksgiving dinner is at my house, let me know if you're coming, I hope to see you all!
She gets a confirmation, then a strange notification from her nephew pops up. Who writes? Wanda doesn't understand. I am the grandmother! The answer shocks him. Grandma? Send me a picture! She doesn't hold back.
She selects a selfie she took at work, another one comes back. He is a boy at school. You are not my grandmother! But can I still eat a hot dish? Wanda laughs, she must have had the wrong number. Of course you can.
That's what grandmothers do, they make everyone eat. Come on November 24th!
Jamal knocks on Wanda's door. She welcomes him with a big smile, makes him feel like one of the family. No awkward silence, lots of laughter and love. By the end of the evening, Wanda and Jamal are now good friends. In the following days they write to each other and keep in touch throughout the year. In 2017 and 2018 the tradition continues. In 2019, Jamal's family hosts Thanksgiving and the bond grows stronger. You are like a nephew, I love you. Then Wanda faces a dark period. Her husband dies of Covid, but Jamal does not leave her alone for a moment. Video messages, phone calls, sweet words. And Thanksgiving, even from a distance, continues to be celebrated together. In 2021 they finally gather around the same table again. Their story goes around the world and becomes a television series. In 2024, Wanda faces breast cancer, Jamal is her rock again. Thank you, you really changed my life. Wanda got her first tattoo with him and they take part in a game show on TV together. And they open their table to two more guests for the holidays, hoping that their new family can grow ever larger.
