Oh Mary! This made me laugh and tear up too. It’ll be hard at the table, on the big day... but sounds like fun and happy memories may get you all through! I love your history/background details... bet he is laughing from above too. Firsts are hard, others will be also as time moves along. Keep writing, keep sharing, keep healing, my friend. Happy Christmas season to you. 🎄😊

May the glogg work its magic this holiday season 😢

I bought alcohol in China one year and the customs guys plucked it from my luggage and stuck it under the counter, no doubt for them to share after work, lol. Luckily, my mom wasn’t there.

Nice piece, Mary. My wife has talked about traveling to Copenhagen for years. I’m likely to plan the trip now, just for the Aquavit.
