I was going through more of my mom's belongings yesterday as I try to clear things out and see what can be used and what should be thrown out. Because this is my mom, I found a file of clippings/shopping bags/fliers from every year she went to Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney. Including 2005, the year she married my now-former stepdad. Among the things I found was the article in the Punxsutawney Spirit about them and the letter that she had written about how she would never leave or forsake him. Um, yeah, that was 5 years before she had to flee with her mom and 5 cats in the night and put him in prison. What fun memories to find on Valentine's Day!
I didn't know which direction I would be heading five years ago. Life is not like a crystal ball.
ReplyDeleteOne beauty of love is it is blind. That in those initial moments meeting someone, we can turn a blind eye. How sad that it ended so tragically for your mom and former stepdad. May there be healing.
ReplyDeleteWell that story took an unexpected turn! LOL
