Spaghetti Carbonara
Okay, so dinner tonight was a major disaster. D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R.
The dish itself was delicious and far from being forgettable. So, what went wrong, you might ask?
Let me paint a picture of my life. I grew up with a French dad that is stubborn, close-minded, and refuses to admit he’s ever wrong. I used to ask myself how he ever got through life with these negative traits. I still wonder to myself if he’s always been that way or maybe he’s acquired it through time because I don’t know how you can travel around the world and still be close-minded. Anyways, a couple of years ago, my Filipina mother passed away. And a couple years after that, I got married to a wonderful man. Days before my wedding, I could not help but think about my new life. I was becoming someone’s wife and I thought of my dad. What would happen to him? Would he live alone? We’d never talked about it in the months of wedding preparation. How did that topic never come up? I was seriously getting depressed. I loved my husband but I could not grasp the idea of letting him live alone at 75 years old. On my mom’s death bed, he promised he would never love another woman, and he never did after that. Could I leave him then? No I could not. I was torn.
