The Handoff​

Driving through a winter storm should be a breeze after landing a passenger jet in this weather. But my daughter deciding this is the best time to spread her wings isn’t on my radar. Nor is my ex-wife Laurel taking pity on me when I arrive at her house disappointed that I’ll miss my weekend with my kid.

​

Laurel and I promised to love one another in sickness and in health. It was the part about forsaking all others that exploded our marriage.

​

 When I became a single dad, I accepted that I’d never change Laurel’s mind about what she thought she saw. But I can’t help wondering if getting snowed in together overnight is the second chance I’ve been waiting for to prove to my wife I gave up everything because I loved her.
