Sunday Morning at the Coffee Shop
September 14, 2008
Why are there so many men sitting at tables alone? Why am I the only solo woman? It makes the fact of my divorce and pulling apart of the family even worse. And I am here because I don’t want to be at home, confronted with the fact of four individuals and not a family. Where to go? I guess I need to come to terms with the reality and not the lost illusion.
I would LOVE to be there with you. But like the rest of the women, I'm home, minding my kids.

I have paid those mommy dues: my older daughter is 17 and my baby will be 13 next month. You only have a few more years to go--and enjoy! I think most of the men there are pre-family; and the missing women, maybe they don't want to proclaim their aloneness so blatantly on a Sunday morning.
