Unfortunate

It's unfortunate that someone had to give my mother-in-law the ONE post that revealed a bad day in my family's life. Not that I was embarrassed or ashamed...I WAS NOT. Thats REAL life. Had I been ashamed I would not have written and published the blog.

NO ONES family is perfect and this person is no exception to that rule. I guess you should "not pick the speck out of someone's eye until you get the boulder out of your own." Once a trouble maker always a trouble maker. This game has been going on for the 25 years I have been in Bob's family. I'm sure every parent has a story to tell about their child taking a dollar without asking or telling a lie. I bet that their child has even made less than perfect grades and not cleaned their room. But to cause trouble in MY family, this jealous person actually PRINTED ONE SINGLE EXCERPT and gave it to Mom to read. Can you believe it? They didn't give her the latest BLOG on the good things and progress that was going on within my family....oh no....just the ONE with the bad stuff. All you did was hurt Bob's mother. Does that make you happy? His mother would/has and does do above and beyond for you all at the pleadings of her family to quit working there. She puts you first...and you hurt her. That was malicious and used just as a way to poke fun at her. Nerve. It took alot.

Let me tell you one thing.....and I know you'll read this eventually.....YOU will NEVER be the kind of mother-in-law that my mother-in-law is and YOU will never have the realtionship with your family members that I have with my Mother-in-law. Write me off, write my kids off...my husband is dead so you can't write him off. I owe you no loyalty and believe me, you don't deserve any. I don't have to patronize you or play the game and I won't. Money can't buy love.
For the many of you that enjoyed the journal and encouraged me to write...for those of you who realize that families are not perfect and can quip at a single mom's views of raising kids alone.... I have created this new blog.

I was an awesome wife to my husband... there was no greater love and no greater mutual respect...I stood by my man until that last breath and I continue to be totally committed to his parents and his sister and just as committed to my marriage vow now as I was when Bob was alive. You'd have to look far and wide to dig up any dirt on me....I've guarded my reputation. When you have walked a mile in my shoes, I'd like to compare notes.
Print this BLOG and keep it. It's time I get this off my chest and this was the catalyst.
