Saturday: the day of the festival of lights and the announcement of an imminent divorce
Saturday I was taking a nap (surprising, no?, considering one of my loves is a full nights sleep) following my son’s 13th birthday slumber party. I woke up to a message from my sister, Melody (the one who married her stalker), that said “Big News!” I thought, hmmm… did she get married in a bar downtown last night? Nope, couldn’t be, not divorced yet. Second thought, she won some money? I called her on my cell phone, doing that getting-dressed-with-one-arm-holding-the-cell-phone thing, because Reagan and I were going to the Festival of Lights with a friend. She answers her phone, sounding elated and said “MOM LEFT DAD!”
