Chapter 77 - Chapter 077 – The Christmas Card
Elaine sent a Christmas card.
On the front, a watercolor manger.
Inside, she wrote: I am learning the difference between managing and loving.
That sentence was better than the first letter.
No hook.
No excuse.
I placed it on the mantel.
Peter sent a card too. His said: The peaches were not enough. I know that now.
I placed that one beside Elaine’s.
Martin sent nothing.
On Christmas Eve, I set out three ornaments the children made when they were small.
I almost put them back in the box.
Then I hung them.
Love for who they were does not require pretending about who they became.

That was a hard sentence.
It was also true.
