Well, the big day arrived yesterday with the formal presentation of an engagement ring and the request for my daughter's hand in marriage. The request was made over the telephone while my daughter listened in on the conversation. (They are in Florida).
I gladly gave my consent and offered my congratulations.
My wonderful daughter has always been a chip off the ole blue. She dated lots of good looking guys from diverse backgrounds. During the past 10 years, I waited as she evaluated them and their relationships.( My mother used to ask me if she had to date a guy from every state and country and I told her, and my daughter, that if that's what was necessary for her to choose a mate, than that's what she was gonna do). I never doubted her judgement although there were a few nail bitters for me along the way.
So, she finally found Mr. Right as oppossed to Mr. Right Now. I love the two of them together and I am trying, in my special way, to help them understand that there will be bumps in the road while teaching them how to avoid the bumps and what to do if you hit them.
Here's these 2 wonderful kids with 4 sets of parents between them. Amongst the 4 parents, we have 11 marriages. Currently, 1 of the parents is unmarried but living with someone; me and Dr. blue are married but living happily and seperately, and the other 2 are married and together.
It's not so strange that these kids are taking it slow and easy and asking for help along the way. There have been enough divorces and unhappiness in the families already! This marriage will be built on a strong foundation, unlike the failed marriages that came before it and I, ole blue will be there to help, when I am asked.
This is a very happy time for me and my family. I thought I would share it with you.
