I appropriately “ahhed” over the Dora the Explorer book and the princess book she came up with and asked how old she was . . . .
I must have put her at ease because she decided that she could ask me questions as well. “Where’s your mommy?”
“Well, I don’t have a mommy anymore.” I could see the wheels in her head turning.
“Where are your kids?”
A bit of a gulp on my part. “I don’t have any kids — yet.”
“Where’s the other people?” she persisted.
“The other people?”
“You gotta live with people.”
I checked for more customers, but there was no one in line. “No, I don’t live with anyone. I’m a grownup and sometimes grownups live by themselves.” This was obviously a new concept.
“You don’t got nobody?”
For most of our years together we have not lived that. Paths of destruction have been sown in our lives trickling into our marriage as we have lived under our blankets of shame. There are ruins from the years of trying to cover ourselves to protect our broken places. There is wreckage from the years of trying to be good enough to attain righteousness.
