Carol and I went to the wedding of
a friend's daughter this evening. At the reception we sat with another
set of friends and their young adult children. Everyone was so happy – the
young bride and groom, and their friends, including our table partners.
We watched all the laughter and joy, and at times shared in those
moments or at least probably looked like we did.
By the time we got out of the
parking lot as we left the reception, Carol was in tears, wondering if our family
can ever laugh like this together again or if we will ever experience this much
joy in this life.
It is hard to imagine any success
at this for us as a family right now. I feel like it is hopeless – we
cannot have that much joy again in our lives without Daniel present. I
hope I am wrong but I cannot imagine being so.
