Promises, Promises
I’m a little disappointed in my wife,’ the guy I knew from
college wrote. ‘She promised to love me in sickness and in health. She’s
leaving me.’
‘You probably promised to cherish her, forsaking all others,’
I wrote.
‘What’s your point?’
‘If you’re addicted to something, you break
promises to loved ones, like cherishing them. They start to feel forsaken for
something other than them.’
‘I guess I can’t expect her to honor her promises
when I wasn’t really honoring mine.’
“For some of us, alcohol is a solvent that melts
away promises,’ I wrote.
Today
I will keep my promises.
