Just got back from the BBQ/birthday party for my mother-in-law who just turned 91. It was a 2 hour drive back home and I'm a little tired.
Saw a niece I last saw when she was four. She's twenty six now. Animosity between her mom and my in-laws after their son's divorce cut her out of our lives. New beginning. Her mother and step father died.. her biological family died. She says she's happy to have a big family that's been waiting in the wings to meet her.
At one point my sister-in-law started to make a comment but I cut her, saying I don't talk about him. We talked about me doing Labor Day but that's the weekend the boys leave for college (or will probably hightailing it out of here before the weekend starts.)
