I am glad that today is over. I am glad that as I type this the kids are asleep and everyone is partying. I am glad too that we can cower away in the refuge of this lovely apartment.
Today was the wedding day. A day centered around
We, however, got to see and take part in very little of it. You know those times when you’re out and you see howling children and parents losing it with their kids. The families that are always telling their children off. The families that you try to make conscious, or subconscious efforts, to avoid. Well that was us.
We could feel every stare and heard every word of sympathy as a painful stab into our souls as we hung our, inward, heads in shame.
I can’t really put my finger on what it was that happened. Yes it could be the little sleep they had after a really exciting day yesterday. Yes it could be the extreme waiting (1 hour for the bride to turn up) that weddings hold. Yes it could be that some stood on Caleb. Or even yes it could be the fact that we were at the mercy of transportation held for us and the lack of a quick getaway. But I rather think it was our inability to cope with the situation.
Ground open up and swallow us now.
