A regular relationship... in an irregular world.

The Rites of Spring


My parents are coming to visit this weekend. Ms has met my parents once, over Christmas. She walked in the house, off a 6 hour plane ride, and was handed a glass of wine and a joint (it was Christmas, after all). My parents love Ms, certainly in part because it seems I have finally gotten over my tendency to pick construction workers and drug addicts.

Ms and I come from two different worlds though, and sometimes I feel guilty that my parents are so readily accepting of our life when hers are not. Still, there has been progress – like the email this morning from her mother that said, “You have found someone that makes you whole and I am so happy for you”. Baby steps.

This weekend my Jewish family will cook Easter dinner for Ms and two of our closest friends – another Miss & Ms duo. Cheers to the next generation of the American family.

xoxo,
Miss
