my family is not broken

a new way to view separation and divorce.

save the date January 12, 2012

A couple of years ago I asked anyone who would listen for an invitation to a wedding. I really, really wanted to go to a wedding.

I can’t explain why except I felt like I had been to a lot of divorces- including my own. Well, of course you don’t go to them- they are thoroughly unceremonial, to say the least. But you attend them in every way possible.

Our favourite babysitter Kate  – who I have known since she was 12 and my babies were new and little and needed so much- came to our house a year ago with her mom, recently treated for cancer, sharing the happiness in her life. Oh, the hope that floats us.

An upcoming wedding.

It is just what I asked for.

My children will sing for her at the church and the reception.

We are saving the date.

We can hardly wait. It is just what I asked for.

When Kate and her mom came over last year to tell us this happy news- they sat in my kitchen to tell us their news. I love that spot in my house for the memories it holds- click here to read WHEN OBJECTS TELL A STORY
