The thought fills me with a strange mix of emotions–excitement, anticipation, nerves. And sadness. Because as much as I want to focus on the joy of marrying the man I love, the man I was always meant to be with, there’s an ache in my chest that I can’t ignore.

My father won’t be there.

Soren called the hospital this morning. He finally got through to my mother after days of trying, and she promised to be here tomorrow before the ceremony. I’m relieved, of course. I want her here, need her here. But when he asked about my father, the answer was the same as it’s been for weeks.
