A Labor (Day) of Love

I couldn't stop thinking about you and your situation last night. It is the ultimate form of irony and maybe also Godly affection, that you should have a situation so utterly familiar in your new family. Heading out on your family vacation, having a great time, then BAM! The sh*t hits the fan and it is like you are back at Folly Beach again.

However, the good news is that from what it sounds like, you handled yourself with an exceptional amount of decorum. Perhaps all those years at Folly Beach, taught you a different way to deal with that kind of conflict. And also, it feels a lot like God is indicating that our family is not so different, that there is an alpha in every family that causes problems when he doesn't get his way.

I am proud of you. And I can't wait to see you, squeeze you, and bask in the bliss of the twin glow that forms when we are together.

  1. I love your choice of words, describing my response to the fight as handling myself with "an exceptional amount of decorum". That is exactly how I felt, especially since I have the tendancy to go towards a fiery response. 23 days and counting!
