What a difference a week makes

Saturday we drove to Kansas City to attend a wedding. It was a great evening with good friends and good food. We've known the groom all of his 30 years. It was wonderful to see him and his bride so in love and happy and excited about being married.

I wish them both all the happiness in the world and also all the luck they will need to be married.

Last Saturday I received the news that good friends of ours are divorcing after 33 years of marriage. What do I say?

I'm sad. A marriage of 33 years is over. Two of my friends are hurting.

I'm surprised. Yes, they had disagreements and their ups and downs--don't we all? Yes, there was kidding--"I'm going to divorce him." But I never thought they actually would.

I wish them both all the happiness in the world and all the luck they will need to be single.
