| The Invitation It comes by email yet in my father’s hand, asking me to come walk my mother to the altar at their 50th wedding anniversary. It is the second time I’ve heard from him in four years-- the first a month ago when he asked my forgiveness for how he treated me since my divorce-- a silent disownment. I struggle about going, still angry, wanting to keep the hurt at a distance-- forgiveness comes hard. To my confessor I say I fear that he’ll want to hug me-- an awkward consoling-- he and I like ball players on a field after losing a game. 10 Mar 01 © Copyright 2001, E.
