‘Girl Power’ will get it done

One year ago, Joe and I were in India celebrating the union of our daughter, Grace, with her husband, Jurick and his family.

It was unlike anything we had ever experienced; full of color and pageantry. Not to mention the wonderful people we met.

I specifically bonded with a group of women, with whom I had little to nothing in common … other than our links to the bride and groom. We formed a “sahri sisterhood” as they helped me put on the traditional Indian dress they had made for me and gussied me up with some bling. They spoke enough English that they could explain the numerous rituals that are part of a Hindu marriage.
