On Saturday my father in law is getting married.  This is a very happy day for him for obvious reasons, but it is still kind of sad as well.

For 47 years my in-laws were happily married.  Then in September of last year my husband’s mother passed away from stomach cancer.  Yes, my father in law did morn her, but has now decided to move on.  So eight months after her death he met a new woman and asked her to marry him.  She said yes and the event will be taking place this weekend.

Now on to the sad part…

Neither one of his daughters will be attending this event.  They both have valid excuses why they will not be attending, but it still is quite upsetting to their father that they won’t be there.  Plus any of his friends from the town he used to live in are refusing to attend.  Their reasons for not attending is because they don’t agree with this wedding and they refuse to be a part of it.  This makes him very sad.

But he is going to do what he is going to do and they will as well.  My husband and I and the kids will be attending so hopefully this will cheer him up a bit.
