While our niece was having a baby last weekend, one of my kids was eloping. I was watching the kids, to free them for this! I find I am of two minds. First, I am happy about this affirmation. I love them both and I love them together. So I am happy that they have committed to be a family, and to the family. But I am also disappointed. I thought they would stand up against the system and say no to patriarchy...but it was more practical to just get married. Besides, they have a son and a house, and they have full custody of her daughter. They are a family.
Oh well, it makes it easier to define who everyone is...She is now my daughter-in-law.
We had beautiful lofty snow flakes falling from a very still sky today. It was beautiful and Christmassy. But - the forecast calls for warmer temps, with lots of rain. I think were up for a muddy Christmas.
My youngest is living with his girlfriend, and they are beginning to establish their patterns as a family. I don;t think they will be here for Christmas Eve. Nor will the newlyweds who are hammered getting everything ready for Santa and a family brunch. Things are changing again.
Hope all is well with you. Love from...
Clare
