to get ready for
the wedding.
i’m of course
going tie-less
because i still
don’t know how
to tie one and
my wife is
no longer here
to curse and assist me.
we took our
seat in the
sun and as the bride
started walking
down the aisle,
maddy started to squirm
and make some noise.
shit.
we retreated and
i kept one
eye on maddy
and the other on
the wedding.
i knew that
she
would have been
up there with
the others,
and i would have
been here doing
what i am doing
and i kept it together
until i looked
down and noticed
liz’s
name listed on
the wedding program.
…
after the wedding
maddy took her
mom’s
place in the photo
(as i look at the photo and think about the sentence i just wrote, i figured that someone reading this may take the sentence literary and think that kevin would have been holding liz, but the visual made me laugh out loud so i’m leaving everything as-is).
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog on the American Widow Project Web site, and I am wondering if you would be interested in the latest book released by Andy Andrews, The Heart Mender. It is about a World War II widow and how she comes to terms with her new life, finds forgiveness, and learns to love again. It’s a really touching story that you may find beneficial and want to share with your readers. Please send me your mailing address if you would like to receive a complimentary copy.
Thank you.
