Can it be possible that the kids have been married a whole year already? Wow - the time has flown by. They are busy learning to be together, to walk smoothly through life's bumps. They are doing fine. They have work to do and I sometimes wish I could make their path easier, but I cannot.
I asked my daughter-in-law if the first year had been all she had expected. She hesitated, then answered, "I'm working on it." Hum. I thought back to my first year of marriage. I was so young, so naive, so clueless. But somehow life's lessons get through and you slowly manage to gain understanding and savvy. Especially when kids come along. Amazing how fast you grow up when someone is totally dependent on you for everything!
In the meantime, they will find their way as we all do. Hopefully they will end up with the kind of mature relationship that sees them well into old age together amicably. To celebrate, we all go to the dollar movies and have ourselves a good laugh. It's nice to be close enough to see each other from time to time, yet not be under each other's feet.
