It has become a tradition of my grandparents and I to eat breakfast here at Sunnyside Diner at some point during the week. This diner is important to me because it represents family and togetherness, not just because I meet my biological family here but because the staff makes me feel at home. This is important to me because my family has been everything but together for as long as I can remember. I won’t get into the details but something as simple as being able to enjoy a meal with my family in a familiar place brings me joy. For this diner, I am thankful.
