Bestowed - Maureen Shay

BESTOWED

With the premiere of their Dreams Happen movie on their tenth anniversary, depicting their first 6 months together, Jay and Meri are often expected to embody the romantic comical interplays from their past. Although the shadows of their aging and getting older cast silent doubts they hide between themselves.

Even with the public curiosity, even as Jay is off struggling with his own hidden mid-life crisis, even as each child embraces their own gift and talents as well as their shortcomings, even as Meri spirals in her own volatile, conflicting reactions, it makes their lives thought provoking and engaging.

Realizing they are more than blessed, even when the unexpected leaves them more than lamenting, Meri is both grateful for the gifts, as she learns to accept the drawbacks of being Bestowed.
