“I always wondered what God’s sense of humor meant,” my friend flipped her hair back while the rest of us listened curiously grazing on an array of appetizers spanning our table.
“And then I found out this week.” She grinned and continued.
“I was done with a relationship—done with the deception, “So I collected 2 1/2 years of letters ripped them up and headed down to the river. I did this before, after my divorce. It helps me mark a new beginning. The papers landed shorn in the garbage by the bridge. I watched the water race by knowing it was time for me to move on. So I said goodbye and left the reminders and mementos of this relationship once again, at the foot of the bridge.

I still marveled how he knew just how to humor me down to changing any negative thoughts I was having—even about the name George.” She chuckled And now I can say confidently because I understand it… ”God has a sense of humor.”
