Grace in Small Things: 10/365
1. My daughter, Maeg, is independent, strong, and willfull (o.k., stubborn)
2. Today is her wedding day (it's already tomorrow in Indonesia), and she will be supported, loved, and cherished by her husband's extended family
3. Mostly I'm sad that I can't be there to witness this rite of passage for my oldest daughter (I know things on Grace in Small Things are supposed to be positive things we are grateful for, but I can't help myself)
4. My other adult children are still in the U.S. and not getting married today
5. My parents, elderly and ill as they are, are just as much in shock and awe as I am
