Rejection at Dinner

After a long day with the kids, I suggested joining David and Lisa for dinner, but to my surprise, Lisa declined, saying, “We just need a bit of alone time.” I understood—everyone needs their space—but the words still stung. As they stayed behind closed doors, I couldn’t help but wonder if all my efforts really made a difference. Dinner passed with only the faint sound of distant clinking, leaving me quietly reflecting on my place in their lives.

Over the weekend, I decided it was the perfect day to take Emma and Jake to the park. “Yay! The swings!” Jake shouted as he took off running toward the playground, with Emma close behind, her laughter ringing through the fresh air. They were little bundles of energy, and the sunshine only seemed to boost their excitement. I stood back for a moment, soaking it all in, grateful to give them this simple moment of pure joy.
