Hmmm.. Think I have another better understanding of the term "bittersweet" unless I am using the term wrong.
My second son called me last night. Josh, the father of the twins who will soon be eleven, called me to break the news. :) Funny, a couple of months ago I had joked with him about this very thing. Anyhow; he finally stepped up to the plate, purchased a diamond, and proposed to Melissa. He has been with Melissa for nine years or so and I am not at all surprised. I am so happy for him I could cry... It is just the thought of so much "romance". He totally surprised Melissa who was not at all expecting it. It had to be wonderful. At the same time, I guess I am too frank perhaps everyone gets hit this way, I am very sensitive and well I am reminded of that very feeling that is missing in my life and that too makes me sad.
Yes; my son is a man. He is doing the right thing and words can't begin to explain how happy that makes me... But; at the same time it is a reminder of things missed, things not there. Of course, I can't talk to my husband about this sort of thing anymore than I can talk to him about anything else. I called my friend and talked to him a little bit. He understands without definition. He has been a very good friend. Even though he is steeped in his own troubles (unemployed for months now without even unemployment. .living off his mother's good graces, he talks to me. That is so important.
Anyhow; guess I should have put this on my blog. I am more or less treating the list like a diary! :) It is afterall my history I am telling here. ;) But; you all are friends. So keep your Summers open! We might have a wedding and you will all have to attend! :)
I am happy....really I am....for Josh & Melissa and wish them all the best that life can ever bring/afford them.
