Dang! Same here!

Here is some "posted mojo"!

I feel so much for you! Believe me , I know exactly how it feels to have a strained relationship with a Dad. My Dad & I bonded so much over the summer, to have a falling out on Thanksgiving, to make-up ( he apologized! ) and celebrate a wonderful Christmas, and then have things go slightly south on my Birthday. I love my Dad so much ( nobody makes me laugh harder! ), and maybe it's because we are alike in so many ways that we tend to clash. I just know that I pine for more time with my parents then either one will really ever give me. And that can hurt something awful. I look up to my Parents so much and long to be just like them, and make them very proud.

I am so very happy that your Dad accepted your relationship with Ralphie! The fact that he pluralized "Son" to include Ralphie touched my heart so deeply. Your relationship should most definitely be celebrated! Opposite sex, same sex, I never can understand why it matters which gender we choose to give our hearts to or decide to spend the rest of our lives with and marry. Love is love and it is such a beautiful thing. And I'm a Catholic girl!

This is so cool, GC! I'm very pleased for you, Ralphie and your dad. It sounds like your mom is coming around, and I applaud your patience with the both of them.

For all of you!

That is such a great break through in your relationship with your parents. You never want to leave that stuff unresolved because one day you/they will regret it.

So good for you & your family.
