Now, we come to the crux of the story of the child. As happens in the lives of all people—especially in California, why I do not know—but in California there are so many divorces. Anyone who is married for ten years is the senior citizen. It’s a more fantastic thing. If you remain united for more than five, that’s really an accomplishment. Well, in spite of their two little girls, sweet children, they grew apart. He is Catholic, and he didn’t want a divorce. He’d rather live in hell than have a divorce. But nevertheless, they got a divorce. The divorce was granted and finalized—using the grandmother’s story and her very words, using the word finalized—it was finalized two weeks ago. And she began, so she said to me, to lose faith because she called me on this case when it began to develop a couple of months ago, say, three months ago. And she said, “I don’t want them to be divorced. I’m quite sure they can reconcile the whole thing and become a loving, wonderful family as they were and must be.” So I agreed with her, certainly they could be. Well, in spite of that agreement here came a divorce, and the papers signed, the whole thing finalized.758 ¶20
