The question of what my relationship with Kit’s parents would look like without Kit had quietly been weighing on me for months. The fact was, I just didn’t know the answer, mostly because I just didn’t know how all of our lives and priorities would shift when the person tying us all together was no longer here to tie us together. Would Marilyn and Bob want anything to do with me, or would my presence be an aching reminder that their only child had been snatched away from them?
