Epilogue: Michelle
After her husband
passed away Michelle stayed sober, much to her own surprise. Five years later she remarried. I ran into her waiting to be seated at a
local restaurant.
“He’s a great guy,” she
said. “We both have adult children who all get along. In fact, our family gatherings are
hilarious. I work four days a week. On
Friday’s I have lunch with his mother.
She’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met.” She paused for a
moment, and wiped a tear from her eye. “I can’t believe after all I’ve been
through I’m finally getting to live happily ever after.”
“I’m happy for you,” I
said. I couldn’t have told her how happy
I truly was. Her story was the antidote to all the depressing news I heard that
day.
Today I
will be glad for people who finally find their ‘happily ever after.’
