For a while, Liv bought into the idea that she might be jinxing their expeditions. Until she realized it was always the same nugget, vaguely shaped li...e Donald Duck.Periodically, they would find something worthwhile and the money was pooled together and split up at Christmas. Panning for gold was how she got her first Playstation and a bunch of games. Though she wasn't a full partner, she didn't mind. Any excuse to hang out in the mountains with her dad was fine."Oh, thank god," Liv muttered to. I looked over at Lori, standing now with her arm around David's waist. David was tenderly holding Shawna in his arms, completely wrapped up in her presence. Lori glanced up at him, and I could see her love for him suffused on her face. I was beginning to understand.I looked over the room and spotted Davey and Kip. They were growing up, and though they would always be close, they were moving more within their own individual circles. In fact, this summer, for the first time, they would be in. I should have been worried about Emmy, but it was so elegantly photographed, and the built up was so slowly, and the emotion of love was so overpowering, that it wasn't at all 'dirty' but it was really sensitive and beautiful. The actor leaned forward, and kissed her neck, and then he literally licked her ear.Then, the screen was filled with a lovely close-up of the woman's breasts as they hung down, gently swinging with each humping thrust from her lover. And then the man's hands gently came. I honestly had no idea. Both of my sons came down the aisle with their wives and my daughters with their husbands.Stacy's mom even showed up as well as her half-sister. Then I looked up and saw Ben as ring bearer. Following him as usual was Marti with a basket throwing rose petals.Instead of going over to the women's side Marti walked right up to me and said, "Uncle Charlie, mommy's getting married."I smiled at her and told her that I knew. She smiled at me and walked over next to Kim. Everyone.
