Now I Know Why

Posted on February 6, 2022 by msw blog

After Hazel and I got married at the ages of 20 and 21, I questioned our judgment in choosing to marry so young. When we had a baby soon after, I wondered how I could possibly support a family. In our mid-40s, I thought we were too young to become grandparents, though our grandchildren are lovely. Then when Hazel passed away at 50 from the coronavirus, I finally realized why we got married so young: We weren’t meant to grow old together. And I am grateful for our time. — Sean Luke Dado

So sad and lovely. There is always a reason, though it may not always be apparent.

  I would not have thought of the word “gratitude”, but it truly is fitting with this story.
