So Sunday was a typical day. We went to church and came home. My mom had cooked a nice dinner and it was good to sit as a family. As we ate I reflected on the fact that one of Jan's friends who left before she died moved back into the area. I realized that she probably doesn't know.... maybe she does. Who knows... anyway... it was a moment of ... "Oh no... I have to relive this again??" as I thought that she may come up and strike up a conversation. She did not but it is still a hard subject to dive into when Jan's phone rings and there is some long-lost person Jan knew trying to reconnect. It just is like a face slap back to 20 December 2014.
All of my kids did more FaceTime with Samantha's kids. It is good they have a good relationship since we will all be together in the future. In a real way - now that the decision has been made ... both Samantha and I just want to hurry up and get married. Yes there is a lot to do... blending families is not for the faint of heart. There will be future trials and things to prepare for. We will need a home that we can all fit into. Seven kids.... wow. There will be a lot of adjustment on both sides but it is a challenge Samantha and I are looking forward to.
