my mom and my sisters and i tried to have a slumber party.
we had sweet snacks.
we had savory snacks.
we had wine.
we had sparkling water with lemon.
and we had a whole variety of movies from which to choose.
but we left open some space to sit and talk.
and that lead to talking.
like, seriously talking.
and that wasn't easy...for anyone.
it was kind of messy and kind of intense.
and no one is quite resolved.
because the "stuff" the percolates beneath the surface took decades to accumulate;
we are in the infancy of our ability to deal with it
alone
never mind trying to do it
together.
the slumber party we envisioned in our minds was a big fail
but i feel like we heard each other in new ways
and we continue to want to be together.
so next time, we will have the slumber par-tay of our dreams and
leave the talking for another gathering.
{maybe}
