A Joint Divorce: Like Mother, Like Daughter
Eventually, I graduated from college.
The day I brought my boyfriend home was also the day she told me she had found someone new.
It wasn't until we each brought our partners to see each other that we realized we'd fallen in love with the father-and-son duo from the Patterson family.
A month later, the both of us got married on the same day. I was married to firefighter Walter Patterson, the son, while Mom was married to Thomas Patterson, the dean of a veterinary hospital.
Walter's mother had died from cancer a few years ago. On our wedding day, Mom had held Walter's hand in hers, saying, "Wally, I'll be your mother from today onward."
