#MicroblogMondays: 20/20 Hindsight

Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is?Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

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!

  1. I didn't know which direction I would be heading five years ago. Life is not like a crystal ball.

  2. One 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.
