A Nice Family Gathering

by Phil Olson

Comedy

A story about a man who loved his wife so much, he almost told her.

It’s Thanksgiving Day, and the Lundeen family is gathering for the first time since Dad died. A day already full of complicated family relationships becomes even more complicated when Dad comes back as a ghost with a mission: to tell his wife of 35 years that he loved her, something he neglected to tell her while he was alive. The problem is, daughter Carla is the only one who can hear or see him. But the trouble really begins when Mom invites a date for dinner!
