Thank you for your post.

The empty chair is a powerful image, but I think it's important to distinguish between what happened and the conclusions we draw from it.

No one showed up. That's a fact.

What that fact says about those relationships may be far more complex.

Sometimes absence reveals the truth about a relationship. Sometimes it reveals our own assumptions—assumptions we weren't even aware we were making.

Great reflection Maria, it invites us to pay attention to what is actually there, rather than what we hope is there.
