Mona Finds True Love

I recently returned from Chicago where I spent time with my sister-in-law and her significant other, which in itself is significant. 

They were high school sweethearts who broke up in college, but never lost their love for each other, even though they went on to marry other people.  All these years later, after children, divorce and rethinking, they have found each other again and are slowly filling in the blanks.  Their lives would have been so different had they remained together during those years, and it is only now that they are realizing what a true act of God their pairing has become.

Several years ago I wrote about a woman I named “Mona” and how distraught she became after seeing a lone, caged sheep secured atop a truck going off to the slaughter house one winter afternoon.  It became a metaphor for her life, and although it took a while for her to understand that Mona herself was the lonely sheep, she took the steps to finally break free of her own cage.

With the help of her own beloved and those who loved her, she is on her way to becoming the person she was always supposed to have been. As you might have guessed, my dear sister-in-law is Mona.

Believe me, there’s a book here.  But it would be premature to write about their adventures, since it’s not really finished yet. 

But it will be one helluva story.
