My in-laws are having a large 4th of July party this year. A lot of family and friends will be there. Although my grief comes and goes in waves. I will look on the bright side today.

It’s going to be disgustingly hot outside. The kind of humidity that makes your skin feel sticky to the touch. I do not enjoy being hot for long periods of time. But at least I will not be dealing with the heat along with shackles of parenthood on top of it.

We won’t have to chase after any kids. Make them a plate of food they won’t eat. Or change a poopy diaper that was baking in the sun. That is the job for the parents and the people who choose to help out. All we have to do is bring a cooler full of drinks and enjoy ourselves.
