My heart feels touched & a little tugged whenever I spot or see a photo of Beth Ann. Several years ago, sitting in a side pew of the church, keeping an eye on a grannie client in the nave, was swept with an unexpected sense as Beth Ann & her husband of many many years walked toward & past me.
"That," an inner voice said, "Is the gal Ian would have married."
What a lovely thought & one that came utterly unbidden. I really like her husband, who seems like a thoroughly nice guy. But I do savor the thought that here was the woman who would have been my sister-in-law. Since Ian - much to my surprise - was like me in many important ways, maybe she would have loved, even liked me.
Wonderful thought...
