Tonight is a family birthday celebration, and I'm looking forward to seeing and interacting with some of my kids. They have busy lives, but I'm fortunate three of them live close by and we can get together. And last night I talked on the phone with our granddaughter, who lives two states away, and therefore they miss some of these events. We'll all be together soon, though, for the wedding. I love talking to my granddaughter and hearing the happiness in her voice. She is being given a lovely life of interconnectedness and stimulation and love. Her tone of voice tells me everything I need to know: she's fine.
There is a bubbliness in all our speech right now which is the result of the anticipated wedding, friends and family about to be gathered together, and the unconscious knitting together for a historic event. It brings up other family weddings, with other brides, other grooms. I'm proud to say I know each person is happy for the ones the spotlight is on this time around, because they were well cared for at their celebration. My husband and I are overjoyed at the new life together about to begin. We think about our younger son and his partner and wonder if they will be next. It feels like everyone is launched. They have other families now. They are anchored in love.
