The Marriage Enrichment course at St. Francis of Assisi CFB Petawawa chapel continues.
Yesterday we attended the fifth session- Family relationships-past and present. It was a contemplative session as we thought back to our childhood. Bruce talked about his parents and I commented on mine. However we did not reminise about the most important aspect of his mothers love- her home baking and hand knit or crochet clothes. I miss the home baking as it was a special part of the family dynamics. However Clara Hanna died in 2005 and mentally she died in1999 when her husband died.
It made us appreciate even more the gift of hospitality that Bob and Jennifer Lay had given us the first 4 classes. Both were busy last night so we were hosted by two male padres! One said that "someone" made
the store bought apple strudel and donuts!
Bring back Jennifer!
In all seriousness we appreciate the hospitality and would willingly bring baking for everyone as the social break helps the mood and creates community within the group of attendees.
Yes family relationships matter to any married couple.
In the military the " family" is the local community as they tend to rely on each other.
