Sigh.
My ex-former-almost-daughter-in-law is getting married this afternoon. She and my son dated for 4 years. They talked about marriage. They were too young then, but I thought it would stick. Then she changed a little, started going to a church that my son thought was too church-y, and they drifted apart. Then she met the assistant youth pastor and they fell in love. My son was relieved, I think, and he and Ashlie (and Jeff the groom) are still good friends.
And, Thing 1 is now in love with Abbey. *I* am in love with Abbey...y'know, in a platonic wanna-keep-her kind of way. She's the one who's gonna stick, I'm sure, and I'll be mother of the groom one day. We're all invited to Ashleigh's wedding so I'll be there with my future daughter-in-law, who is only waiting to finish college before, well...I don't wanna jinx it. ;)
So why do I still feel like crying? Why will I cry both sad AND happy tears at the wedding?
