We don\u2019t need them anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sentence bothered me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before I could ask why, my phone rang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The florist needed an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I missed the warning sitting right in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE WEDDING<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The morning of my wedding arrived bright and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost two hundred guests filled the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My dress was perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flowers covered the bridal room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma looked adorable in her flower-girl dress, although she insisted on carrying Bunny under one arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t want him to miss the wedding,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle, everyone left the bridal room so I could have a moment alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Emma slipped inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her flower crown was crooked, and she was clutching Bunny tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMommy, I need to tell you something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCan it wait until after the ceremony?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She shook her head immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo. Please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something in her voice made me kneel in front of her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She turned Bunny over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLook inside him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the faded ribbon around Bunny\u2019s neck was a tiny opening I had never noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI made him a pocket,\u201d Emma whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I reached inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My fingers touched something hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I pulled it out, my breath caught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was our missing bracelet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pink, yellow, and blue beads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two words across the center:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MOM + ME.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy did you hide this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma lowered her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMatthew said we wouldn\u2019t need matching bracelets after today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything inside me went silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat exactly did he say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat big girls shouldn\u2019t wear baby bracelets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I kept my voice steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnything else?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe said after you married him, you and Matthew would be the real family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My stomach tightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe said families change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her voice became even quieter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe said when you have another baby, we probably won\u2019t have Mom and Me Days anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suddenly, every strange thing I had noticed over the past year made sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma refusing our Saturday pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma climbing off my lap when Matthew entered the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma apologizing for asking me to read bedtime stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma repeatedly asking whether she was bothering me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had not become independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She had been preparing herself to disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDid Matthew ever tell you I loved you less?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDid he yell at you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThreaten you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She shook her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe just said when people get married, little girls have to share.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSharing isn\u2019t bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know,\u201d she whispered. \u201cBut Bunny says sharing isn\u2019t the same as giving someone away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That sentence broke something inside me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I slipped the cheap plastic bracelet onto my wrist beside the expensive jewelry I had chosen for my wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It looked completely out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And somehow, it felt more important than everything else I was wearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I took Emma\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCome with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhere?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo tell the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I WALKED AWAY BEFORE SAYING \u201cI DO\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The church doors opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly two hundred guests stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matthew smiled from the altar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then his expression slowly changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because I was not walking toward him like a bride ready to marry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was walking beside my daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we reached the front, I stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music faded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHilda?\u201d Matthew asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I raised my wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo you recognize this bracelet?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His face changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt belongs to Emma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe hid it inside Bunny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I looked directly at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDid you tell her we wouldn\u2019t need matching bracelets anymore?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matthew hesitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI told her she would eventually outgrow them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDid you also tell her our Saturday tradition would end if we had another baby?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked around at the guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI thought we needed to become a normal family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe already were a family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His shoulders dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to hurt her. She depends on you too much. I wanted her to understand that she couldn\u2019t always come first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I looked down at Emma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was holding Bunny against her chest, trying to disappear again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe wasn\u2019t trying to come first,\u201d I said. \u201cShe was trying to make sure she still belonged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matthew looked stunned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I believed him when he said he had never intended to hurt her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was not deliberately cruel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he had never understood how a five-year-old heard his words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he said, \u201cYou\u2019re growing up,\u201d Emma heard, \u201cYou don\u2019t need Mommy anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he said, \u201cFamilies change,\u201d she heard, \u201cThere won\u2019t be room for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he joked that Saturdays could not always belong to us, she buried the bracelet representing every Saturday she treasured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I looked at Matthew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen Emma\u2019s father left, I made myself one promise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He waited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would only marry someone who made my daughter feel safer than she already felt with me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tears filled my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t think you\u2019re a bad man. I think you might have been a wonderful husband.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He looked hopeful for half a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut I don\u2019t need only a wonderful husband. I need someone who understands that my daughter is not competing for my love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I removed the elegant bracelet from my wrist and fastened Emma\u2019s plastic one beside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She stared at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMommy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think Mom + Me Saturdays are coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery single one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She threw her arms around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I took her hand and walked back down the aisle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An hour later, we sat in our favorite ice-cream shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was still wearing my wedding dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma accidentally dropped chocolate ice cream onto the white satin and immediately panicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m sorry!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I looked at the stain and laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPerfect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow this dress finally belongs to a day we\u2019ll remember for the right reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our matching bracelets clicked together across the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emma smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo it\u2019s still Mom and Me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I kissed her forehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt will always be Mom and Me.
