Forever Family

Five of his and four of hers were 
step-this-and-that to each other. 

The Church said, “Families Are 
‘Forever'”—in their case it was more 

of a question, after the disaffections,
the divorces, and the deaths of 

two of the five grandkids—but heck,
when her twenty-six-year-old 
freeloader finally moved out, and 
before their lone missionary 

returned, they had a few days to 
fall in love—or at least fall 

back on a friendship that for ten 
years had kept things from flying 

completely apart; and if the results
weren’t likely to last forever, 

that was a chance they’d have to take—
because if they didn’t, who would?
