Something happened last January. I have to live with that. What happened after that is not on me. What happened before that, well, pretty soon here you can decide for yourself. Some stories just need to be told. And some should never be - like this one. I'm telling it anyway. Take a deep breath, you'll see what I mean. Friendly Advice . . . I'm going to recount the day of Curt's funeral here by the hours as they actually happened. Then I'm going to throw in some family chronicles along the way. Pay close attention or you'll be lost - perhaps, as lost as Curt. Want more . . . Normal is about what you think is normal; what's normal to you. But a normal family? What's that? Families are endlessly varied and complex. There are families with the unemployed brother-in-law who won't move out at 38-years-old and the pregnant niece at fifteen; the ones where somebody bad is cheating on somebody nice, and the rest have at least one who is about to get fired or arrested, killed or married. Sorry, was that part redundant? Then amongst all that mayhem are the totally wonderful family members who provide the glue for the erratic, yet utterly predictable, antics of that first group. And together, this combination of sinister, sorry, and sensational actually do amalgamate into a fairly normal family of today. At least now we have a baseline. Anyway, most of this story is true so I've changed the names; you'd do the same. It helps me to think of it as fiction. Sort of. And since nobody really knows everything about everybody - or even everything about anybody - then I believe we'll continue.

Come fall in love with four generations of Halleran women. They're funny and fun, and you'll wonder why anyone ever looked so hard for a glass slipper, when all they needed was the perfect pair of Oyster Pumps . . . The whole idea came about over that time honored question of "Who am I going to marry?" And like it or not, there comes a time in every girl's life when her heart seems to be in absolute peril over it. Sometimes it's an nine-year-old who whispers, "I hope I marry someone just like you, Daddy." Or maybe a daydreaming teenager who fancies herself in a princess gown, complete with worthy prince, and thinking, "is this the man I'll marry?" It becomes more obsessive when you're twenty-something and your friends are all married, and you're back to that first question of, "Who am I going to marry?!" Notice the difference: the exclamation point added to the end; in your thirties you're allowed two of those. In your forties, you're sure you must have missed the right man when he came along, which truthfully, ranks right up there with the first question in power of control over the female heart: "Will I even know Mr. Right when he comes along?!" A good exclamation point is usually appropriate on this one right from the get-go. Now what if I told you that Grandma Halleran had come up with a sure-fired way to eliminate all that angst? Are you hooked yet? 'Cause you're gonna love Grandma's idea.
