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.
