Obviously, you both profited from the relationship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-71171742836754368132008-03-18T19:05:00.000-05:002008-03-18T19:05:00.000-05:00Thanks for visiting my blog.

I recently lost my grandfather in December, but was unable to say goodbye because his funeral was in Poland and I just couldn't make it. It's wonderful that you got to say goodbye. Love the pantyhose line, and I'm sure she did too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080920052339704165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-64667306870697721262008-03-18T10:28:00.000-05:002008-03-18T10:28:00.000-05:00I admit, my eyes teared up at this story. Amazing...I admit, my eyes teared up at this story. Amazing to see how, as you said, strong personalities can adjust as others enter the picture, even end up respectful and loving. <BR/><BR/>I have a slightly similar story -- my DH is from an extremely loving, close-knit family, as am I. But they are quiet and calm whereas we are boisterous and gregarious. His two brothers were already married and I learned, rather quickly, of the pecking order of the sisters-in-law, which was unconsciously enforced by the in-laws. The alpha SIL could do no wrong -- and I didn't get along with her. I made a couple comments to my hubby about her, saying that she was a bitch and I wasn't going to tolerate her treatment of me; he, instead, defended her. BIG MISTAKE. So, rather than launching into a major defensive, I let the cards play out..... sure enough, the Alpha skipped out and left two toddlers to the care of my BIL. Meanwhile, our older son was born, then diagnosed as autistic. I didn't skip out -- it cemented my marriage and made me a saint in their eyes. Since then, I almost walk on water, they've learned a lesson (subconsciously), and everyone is respected. The subjugated SIL, too, has emerged in her personality.<BR/><BR/>MidgeMerrymagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03067685823930927536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-44258745990092125312008-03-18T09:27:00.000-05:002008-03-18T09:27:00.000-05:00Oh i am sorry for your lost.

I wonder if she said that to you for YOUR benefit - maybe she saw love in your eyes and didn't want that man to hurt you....or maybe she was jealous of his attention and trying to scare you away. Hmmmmm, do you know if she was ever around the other girlfriends? Maybe it was she that cleared the way for you. Any way, again, I am sorry for your loss.<BR/><BR/>Jenniferjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547226679311827501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-36599575653692873282008-03-17T22:23:00.000-05:002008-03-17T22:23:00.000-05:00Wow.

Reminded me of Hoss' Great-Grandmother, she hated me with a passion, I stole her #1 grandson (which she informed me she did only call him that because he was first born). Bobby and I had only been out on two dates and one day she found my house, walked in on her lil cane and told me she would beat me with it, if I ever broke his heart. I did not know whether to tell him about it or not. So I chose not to. Years later when I got pregnant with Hoss she asked if we were going to name him "broken rubber" because there was no way Bobby would have a child with me. LOL and my last tid-bit of that evil ol' woman....she wanted Bobby to purchase her camper, she wanted him to pay her $1.00 for it, so when she died she would know it was his fair and square. So we went over there Bobby handed her a dollar, she turned to me, handed me the dollar and says "When you guys get divorced, the camper is his, because I just paid you for it. So when he wisens up and sends you down the road kicking rocks, the camper belongs to him"<BR/>LOL She is a classy lady....let me tell ya!Jaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691703334711505710noreply@blogger.com
