Astonished and honored...
Today I received the RSVP from Rascal's great-grandmother, a noble wisp of a woman who teeters ever closer to nearly a century in age. As far as I knew, she never leaves the senior care building at which she lives, not for weddings, funerals, or parties, but Rascal and I had nonetheless sent her an invitation out of respect and love. We never dreamed that this tiny, fragile, quiet creature could ever want to attend a noisy, rambunctious wedding in a crowded, chaotic bar. But she sent back that she will in fact be attending. It is the first wedding, I think, that she has attended in decades, despite her enormous and constantly-spreading family. I am so flabbergasted and touched that I'm not even sure how to react. I have met this miniscule monarch, and at her birthday party many months ago she gave us a beautiful blessing, and gifted me with a hug as fragile as butterfly wings and a kiss as delicate as fairy's breath. I was touched at that. The fact that she wants to attend...wow.
