My best friend’s daughter is getting married on Saturday.
She and her daughter’s dad divorced 20 years ago. He died a year and a half ago. She has the honor of presenting the speech that the father of the bride normally would give and asked me to help her write the speech.
Over morning coffee (she let me drink coffee out of her favorite coffee mug), we tossed around ideas, reminisced, laughed and cried. It took a full pot of coffee but we put together a speech that honors her daughter’s dad, recognizes the importance of family, and celebrates the journey that has brought these two to their wedding day.
Sometimes stopping to think, to talk things over with a friend, really helps us understand life.
