no one has ever denied that my mother and father have a very unique relationship. they were high school sweethearts, married very young and had me. they divorced when i was five…and it wasn’t like it was all “ok, well this didn’t work so you go your way and i’ll go mine”…no. it wasn’t really a pretty split. but sometime not long after that my mother decided it wasn’t going to work for me to have everyone hating and stuff so she and my then very young step-mother worked it out. then they went past that and became really great friends. mama always said she didn’t want to give up all the wonderful people in my dad’s family, so she just DIDNT. i don’t blame her, they are pretty cool.
fast forward 35 years…MANY more very cool people all having a great day at the farm together. in-laws and out-laws, married and single, very young (the youngest this year was 2 months) and very old (my grandmother is 84). forgiveness and grace is a wonderful thing.
