On the afternoon October 8 2013, I walked into the Crown Bar in Belfast with a group of Spanish people to whom I was teaching English. Immediately upon entering the place, my phone rang and I went outside to answer it, leaving my students to order for themselves at the bar. The call was from was my mother, who was visiting me at the time, and taking care of my four year old son while I was with my students. Just six weeks earlier, I had left my husband in Berlin, fleeing his descent into mental illness and substance abuse to start over, alone and unemployed, with my kid in Belfast.
Amen to the invisible labour that makes the world. And very happy for all of you. But what on earth made you decide on Belfast after Berlin. That’s a story I want to hear!
Best wishes. Scripture records that Jesus Christ performed his first miracle at a wedding which I doubt that he would have done if he did not approve of weddings.
Absolutely loved this! Most particularly the first & last paragraphs and the life and love together in body, mind & spirit you so aptly describe. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart!
What a beautiful story. Thanks for including this in your year-end article.
This is great, all of it, but especially the part about the workers of this world, the people who have to really graft just to get through.
As usual...love everything in this article. Congratulations and God Bless.
When once I landed in the Crown
There was a man with hair of brown
He cursed the air from blue to red,
And that, my friend, is who I wed <3
Congratulations! I hope the two of you have a long, healthy, happy life together.

I know I've said this before, but this is your best. I hope and trust you'll enjoy married life as much as I did. Tantissimi auguri a tutti e due.
