My New Orleans
McFoBen = Mc(alear) + Fo(x) + Ben(son)
We have done a stupendous job of trying to screw this up and we have succeeded on many occasions but today I celebrate 15 years of marriage to
Andrew Martin Fox, my fellow Fierce Fighter and partner in building McFoBen. We navigated a minefield together as we raised our amazing daughter,
Cecilia McAlear.
Sometimes one of us had planted the mine, more often they were tossed in front of us, and we dodged through them, bandaging one another along the way.
We saved my father’s life together before ultimately letting him go together. We have offered refuge and comfort to many who felt lonely or displaced over the years. We have mourned and buried others. We built a family of friends who share our values of loyalty and non-judgement and we have all helped and healed one another along the way. We have surely shocked neighbors with arguments that were too loud.
