Well the wedding went off without a hitch. I didn't know how I would feel during the ceremony, but thankfully our D had a very simple short ceremony (5 minutes top) so I really didn't have any time to reflect back to our problems.
It was a very simple but elegent affair, cocktails, ceremony, and dinner everything taking place at a very elegent restaurant here in town. About 20 people total.
I admit during the vows I did just blank out the words spoken, and watched proudly. The MIL was sobbing, and must have thought I was a cold fish.<p>H and I have been on a truce until the wedding had taken place, we didn't want anything to spoil her special day, but yesterday the truce was over. Tomorrow is our 27th aniversary, and frankly I don't really care if we celebrate it or not, so many unresolved problems to work through. I am not sure which stage of recovery I am in right now, I think its the "I don't give a darn" about anything right now, maybe it is just the let down after all the excitment and planning of D's wedding. Just picking out a Anniversary card is a chore, none of the sentiments really apply to me right now. <p>H informed me today we have to get a second car seat because OC#2 has outgrown the baby carrier, just what I want is 2 car seats in my car trunk. I wish when H was buying a new car right before Dday he would have gotten himself something more practical than a sporty little 2 door, so on visit day he has to take my car, I know it's minor but still burns me. <p>I also am heading out west to visit my parents saturday, which is always stressful, my mother is in very poor health, and was told by Dr. she should be in hospital as she had heart failure yesterday, but both my brother and I are going out there to visit and she wants to be home. So just a little prayer from you all would be appreciated. I have a feeling this could possibly be my last visit with her. <p>I'm sorry this post took a turn to the depressing, I didn't mean for that. But I did want you all to know that the wedding was wonderful. <p>Tina

T71,<p>Would it be too much to ask for him to trade his sporty little two-seater in for a Minivan? Leave your car alone...and no, the I don't give a darn phase is normal...and for me it reoccurs sometimes.
I'll be praying for you...I just posted a vent topic, and now that I've read yours, my little mini-drama pales in comparison to your mom's health.
As hard as it may be, pls enjoy your visit w/ your mom. If you are right, and it turns out to be the last, make sure you create a memory that will last a lifetime!
w/ love,
Matt
