My mother is dying. XW wants to be my friend.

You are both right. It doesn't have anything to do with me. I still can't help but wonder though.

Son #4 told XW this morning that he will not be attending the festivities this weekend. It is sad really.

She gets married tomorrow and not a single child of her's will be there.

Also, in addition to tomorrow's wedding, there is a big get together at her sister's house this evening. OM's family is flying in from Ksnsas and XW's family is flying in from New York. It is a little party so the families can get to know each other. The sad thing is, none of her kids will be there. I almost feel bad for her.

The question is: shouldn't all these people wonder why none of her kids are at the family get together or the wedding? She has four sons and none of them will be there. For someone who always cared so much about fitting in/being accepted/keeping up with appearances, this has got to be a blow. I'd love to hear her explanantion to the families.....I'm sure it'll go something like: "their father has turned them against me blah blah blah...."

Anyways, mom seems to be doing good. She started Chemo this week and was really sick the past two days, but that was kind of expected.

Off to my blind date.......
