I drag you all through the downs with me, so it's only fair I treat you to the ups as well.
Three years ago we lost touch with our son, his wife, and our three beautiful granddaughters. I'd just about given up in hearing anything from them, seeing as how our son didn't even bother to make the effort to see his father when he was dying, and considering how strained the relationship with my daughter-in-law was.
Today I found an email from her. Caught me completely by surprise. They've since divorced, and she was hoping I was doing well, since she knew Wednesday was my anniversary, my second without Dale. In the brief communications between us tonight she shared recent pictures of the girls, and my whole universe lit up like Christmas morning.
Maybe it'll get even better and I'll hear from my boy. A mother can only hope, and trust that he can find it in his heart to make that call. It tears my heart that their marriage fell apart, and it's been too many years since I've heard his voice on the other end of the telephone line.
Cross the fingers and toes. The universe has finally orchestrated the healing of my immediate family. I've been eazing my way into this for a while now, and it's a bit of a shock to have it happen so suddenly. I have no idea where this leads, but you know I'll grab every blessed moment I can get with my girls.
