It's both a gift and a relief to be able to look back, see what was unavailable to us then and make our amends to the degree we are able. I acknowledged all the ways I had hurt and confused my ex-husband 50 years after the fact as I tried to make my way into my adult life. He was, as he had been then, gallant and kind. I was grateful to be forgiven and he deserved my apology. Thank you for writing this Laurie.
I loved this. I thought it was so powerfully written. It reminded me ever-so-slightly of Elizabeth Strout’s book “Oh William!” Just because the subject is the relationship between two long divorced people.
Always such fun to read you! At any age, we all need to eat cake with our hands!

So honest and so lyrical. Love it.
Nice. Headstrong, a little chagrined, maybe not gonna change? Yeah, right there with you, darn it all.
