So my 72 year old Dad is getting married.
I am really happy for him. He is marrying a woman that our family has known for years. She lived in our neighborhood growing up. She and her husband were my parents best friends for a long time. They would go camping and do other things together.
Once the decision was made, they decided to get married quickly. Next month. I guess when you are in your 70's and have known each other for over 20 years, why wait? I told my dad he moves pretty quick for an old guy!
Although I am really happy for my Dad, I had to do some fresh crying over my mom. The two things aren't really related, it just made me think about the reason that my dad is able to get married again. She has been gone for 5 years now. I can't believe it has been that long.
I'm happy they will be together and will be able to keep each other from being lonely.
Here's to new beginnings. Cheers Dad!
Wow!! Good for him!! I hope he's happy!! And good for you, to know her and be happy for him! Sorry for your sad feelings! I'm right there with ya!! Some days are more difficult than others! I'll keep you in my thoughts!!
ReplyDeleteI cried for an hour. I was glad we heard over the phone instead of live in person. It gave me time to deal with things before I had to talk to anyone.
ReplyDeleteWe're excited to see all of you!
I'd almost given up on you updating your blog! :) I hope you are going to come to the scrapbooking weekend...we can talk then...
ReplyDeleteThat is so great to hear!!!I have a family member who will really perk up to know that he can still find a companion to share life with at that age.

HELLO ... Ello... ello...
ReplyDeletewow - that is a very hopeful post!
ReplyDeleteThats great for him!
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice for your dad.
ReplyDeleteThat is great for your dad. Though I completely understand the feelings regarding your mother.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that my father remarried as well, but it's bittersweet given that it's just another reminder that my mother passed away. It'll be eight years Nov. 22 . . . it still seems unreal to me sometimes.
But, at least our fathers aren't alone. :o)
