~ CHAPTER 26 ~

Grace got home and unpacked. There was a package that she couldn’t remember purchasing tucked into her garment bag. Opening it she found a note from Joan:

“To the woman I love, bet you thought I’d forget your birthday didn’t you?” There was a characture in silhouette of a woman in braids with a sly smile on it drawn next to the words.

In the package was the antique ring that she had seen in the jewelry store in Venice. She remembered Joan going back for her ‘package,’ this must have been it. Sitting down on their bed she shook her head and started to cry. This was so like Joan to give her something like this. Her birthday was in a couple of days and they had both been disappointed that they wouldn’t be spending it together. It would be her 50th and they had wanted a big blowout. Friends were coming from California. The boys were going to make sure she partied despite the fact that Joan wasn’t going to be able to be there. She immediately got on the internet to send a letter to Joan. She told her she was home and thanked her from her heart for the beautiful ring. She already missed her so much.

The party was a riot. Many of the people knew each other from their house warming party earlier the previous year. There were a few new faces such as Beth but she was known by the hospital staff and welcomed by all. Aaron egged on by Craig and Jane sang a rendition of Happy Birthday that cracked them all up with it’s shaky alto.

Adam was filled with last minute preparations for his wedding. Gwen would be flying in the next week and staying with Grace. Grace had thought it silly to put her in a hotel when she had this huge house to herself. She hadn’t thought it proper to send her to Adams house until they were married. One must keep up appearances she joked. She knew though that Gwen’s parents would NOT have approved. She’d heard the story of when Gwen explained that Aaron’s famous mother was gay they had thought it was a disease that ran in the family. Shaking her head at their ignorance Grace’s heart went out to Gwen. Gwen and she got along great despite her parents. Grace had to agree with Joan that this woman was perfect for Adam. They all eagerly anticipated the wedding in a couple of weeks. When Gwens things arrived from the moving company, Grace helped her to unpack them at Adam’s house. Gwen packed a bag to stay with Grace.

At the party Bryan made sure to video tape as much as he could for his mother. Unwrapping some pretty serious gifts Grace remarked that it was too bad she couldn’t turn 49 every year, after all she had stayed 39 for quite a few years. It cracked them up. Tina asked what Joan had gotten her and Grace showed off her antique ring.
