Thanksgiving Tradition Faces Change as Wanda and Jamal Mark 9th Year

TL;DR
Jamal Hinton and Wanda Dench, who became internet sensations after a mistaken Thanksgiving invitation in 2016 led to an annual tradition, had to alter their plans this year due to Wanda's breast cancer diagnosis. Her treatment left her immunocompromised, preventing an in-person gathering. Despite this, they connected via Instagram Live to maintain their cherished tradition. The story, which has inspired a Netflix movie, highlights their enduring friendship and hope for future celebrations together.
