But that's because of jealousy more than anything else.

I got pretty excited at the possibility of being able to watch Elise's Dutch great-grandmother's home movies. It could be really fuckin interesting.<BR/><BR/>Elise's response: "You have some kind of weird love for other families' banality."<BR/><BR/>It's true. From immersing myself in other people's families, I learn more about my own and why it blew apart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31592708.post-50040221969451305082008-05-29T16:20:00.000-05:002008-05-29T16:20:00.000-05:00Wow!

I remember how awkward it was when I mentioned it to my father. Kindof throwing it out there, in case he wanted to talk about it, but not really pushing it.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, my mom passed away a week before the marriage was supposed to happen. We had to have a wake instead of a wedding. One of the hardest parts of that day was trying to separately console my father <B>and</B> Steve, while trying to let them keep their respectful distances.<BR/><BR/>But they're both grown men, and there were bigger things to think about.<BR/><BR/>I hope that your mom's wedding is awesome, and don't mourn too much for the love lost - there's (almost) always more where that came from.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11416036567611015890noreply@blogger.com
