the piece is called Keep Moving:
She knew
about being faithful, she knew about loyalty. She was a Hennenbacher for crying
out loud. Stand by your man was the family motto. Margery credited it to her
Christian upbringing. No one in her family had ever gotten divorced. They
either died or went crazy first.
Perhaps it was
the Hennenbacher in her, a name so long and unusual no wonder she and her
siblings closed ranks.
Whenever she
projected herself into the future, she could only imagine her and Joe as
empty-nesters, one day retiring, visiting grandchildren, taking that planned
trip to the Holy Land. Outside of her marriage and family, she didn’t really
have a life.
Margery was an assistant to the administrator at a non-profit where she was in charge of scheduling and general office paperwork. Also, unofficially, she served as the resident chaplain, a listening ear, someone who handed out the tissues and kept candy in a bowl on her desk. She never once thought that one day it might be she who would need a shoulder to cry on.
