Kindred Kin
Our children met while teaching in Germany. His son is British; my daughter is American. He and I are both single parents, retired teachers and cheeky devils. Our children fell in love, got pregnant and married — all during Covid, so they had a Zoom wedding and baby shower. Meaning he and I became friends on WhatsApp and Signal before we finally met in person in England. I am more fond of the royals than he is (he thinks they are outdated, parasites on taxpayers). Still, we are kindred spirits, now with actual kin in common. Cheerio, y’all. — Felicia Carparelli
