Luann: "I had a dream about Quill last night. Made me wonder if he's "the one." How do you know when you're in love, mom?" Mom: "Love isn't an event. It's a process" Luann: "Ok. But how do you know who you want to spend your life with?" Mom: "Life isn't one journey. It's many trips" Luann: "Meaning?" Mom: "What works today might break tomorrow" Mom: "Life is like a pair of jeans. Some work forever, other seem perfect but never quite fit. Some are sturdy, others need a lot of care. Some get too small, go out of style or just lose their appeal. Some you get rid of then wish you hadn't, other you keep and wonder why" Luann: "Wow. You are just full of momisms today" Mom: "Yeah. They're a lot easier than actual answers"
48 years ago I asked my mom that same question. I honestly don’t remember what she said, but I think she was secretly wondering where that was going. She was probably thinking how young I was (18) and wondering if I’d finish college, I did. Yes, I’m still married to him. Yes there have been struggles. But we are both Christians and that helps us remember how to treat the other person. Luann and Pickles are my favorite strips.
