Once upon a time…The
end.
What happens in the ellipsis? He grew up. She got married.
They had kids. Easy things to say. But much more difficult to live.
Growing up hurts. It’s hard realizing how scary the world
is. It’s unnerving finding out that the grownups really don’t know what they’re
doing.
Getting married is complicated. It’s tough to find two
people who share the same brand of weirdness. It’s work to stay committed.
And kids. Little bundles of joy who ensure their parents
will never sleep quite as well again.
There’s a lot of
living in that ellipsis.
Very thoughtful. I enjoyed reading this. Thank you. :)
