I thought of you the other night while I was speaking to my daughter. She had been in a wedding last winter for a friend from school. I remember feeling so sad for my baby because here she was in this big deal wedding, with the bride being surrounded by her loving family. Just as it should be or so I thought.
Anyway, this girl had just done something really nice for my daughter and I commented on what a good friend she was. My daughter agreed and said that she wished I could meet her friends MOM because being with her was like being with me (she means crazy and out of control). She said that friends Mom makes her laugh all of the time. Then she said, "Friend's Mom went through the samething with her Dad as you did with mine". In my mind I had envisioned the ideal when in reality the friend and her fiance' had paid for the whole thing and almost didn't invite the Dad. Her Mom walked her down the isle but my daughter had never mentioned this until the other night.
So you see, we think everyone else's life is so happy and normal, but what's closer to the truth is everybody has something.
