Event Filled Weekend
Wow, it has been an event filled weekend. Friday night we went out for supper with friends to celebrate Leon's birthday. it was very nice - especially since it seemed like it had been such a long week at work. While we were at the restaurant I got a text from Denver. It was a picture of a woman's hand with a diamond ring on it. I was so excited. What wonderful news. I texted Denver back but he did not respond so I called him. I had a hard time hearing him so I asked where he was. He said they were in a bar in Volga celebrating with Danielles mom and sister. Well, I gotta say I was a little bit hurt that they would be out celebrating with out having called to tell us first. But I just let it go. Anyway, I waited until Saturday and called Denver back. He said they actually got engaged on Wednesday, but he wanted to give Danielle a few days to tell the people she wanted to tell before he told us. Hummm. I wondered why that would affect us, but again I didn't say anything. Then he put Danielle on the phone. Her first comment was "I am glad he finally told you guys. Okay, now I am really feeling hurt. Why . . . . . anyway, I am trying very hard not to let this bother me. It is a very trivial thing, but I still feel hurt. Not enough to say anything. Just my own problem. I will never say anything to anyone about this, but I am allowed to feel the way I feel. It is what it is! Now on to wedding plans.

You handled all that better than I could. That would have hurt my feelings terribly. Even now, when something happens and Brad doesn't let us know, it hurts my feelings. A friend told me years ago that Son's leave their Mother's for their "new" families, but daughters always need their Mother's. Not having a daughter I don't know about that side of it, but I do know that when Brad married--Chely and the kids became his family. I admire him for it, but I still feel a little hurt by it also. Seems like Mom's are always the ones with the broken hearts!!! You spend your young years raising them, then they seem to forget you for years. I can only hope that (like his father does Mildred) he will treasure me in his older years. Keep your chin up and a smile on your face--you've got a wedding to help with!!!
ReplyDeleteYa, as much as I try not to think about it, I still feel hurt. You are right though - let's see how does that go " a son is a son till he takes a wife, a daughter is a daughter the rest of her life". Lots to do before July 9th. I don't know how much help they want from me, but I am here and ready, willing, and able to help.
