January 1st
"I know it's the last minute," Carl said timidly, "but I
need a date for my company bowling party
tonight."
Two years ago when Carl first joined our church
singles group, I wanted to know this man.
Every week my heart fluttered at his warm,"Hello." We
danced together and laughed like teenagers. We stood
close together on my deck,watching the city lights flicker,
then, abruptly, he said, "I’ve really got to go now."
"I must be imagining things that just aren’t there," I told
my best friend.
Carl was a popular guy in our group and in the next
year he had his share of dates,but none with me.But then
came the telephone call, and that "D" word.My emotional
alarm clock started to go off.
Eleven months later we were married.During our wedding
vows, Carl said,"Thank you for waiting for me." When
it was my turn, I shared something I'd tucked away in my
heart. It was from one of those dating seminars: "Love is a
friendship that has caught fire."
-Jan Coleman
Be patient. Timing is everything
January 2nd.
When I first met Larry he came complete
with a daughter, McKenna, and a son,
Lorin—on weekends. I was completely captivated by my
new and charming "instant family," but the children's
mother was a different story. I really liked Dia, but our
positions seemed to dictate a certain grumpiness with
each other that I did my best to squelch.
I watched the children grow, changing from toddlers to
schoolkids. And their mother and I continued our civilized
and awkward interactions, arranging for the children
to come and go and negotiating vacations and
holiday schedules.As the years went by, I noticed that our
phone calls changed. I actually enjoyed talking to Dia
about the kids.We began a slow but perceptible metamorphosis
that was completed the year Dia sent me a
Mother's Day card, thanking me for "co-mothering" her
children.And while it hasn't always been perfect, I know
it’s been extraordinary.
One year as we all sat around the Christmas tree, I
looked around as the children delivered the gifts. There
we were, Dia and her husband, Larry and me, the kids . . .
and surprisingly, I felt at home.
-Carol Kline
Focusing on the children can help create
a feeling of family among the adults
