Some random thoughts

So, we have had a pretty tough week. My husband lost his father, his mother is clueless, and I can see my mother in myself. It's not such a bad thing that I can see her in me, I just know what to watch for now.

My husband's father was a great man. He was portrayed to Steve as being the one who made the decision not to be in his life... But come to find out that may not have been what really happened. Now we will never find out what truly happened back then. My kids will never get to know their grandfather, even though they will know of him. They will learn about him with us. Steve will now get the chance to know his sisters. Only the oldest at first. It is a bittersweet happiness. I'm so glad that I will get to know my sister-in-law; quite frankly I'm glad to say that I have them... Hopefully she will be able to get Steve to know his uncles. They seem to be so nice. Nothing like what has been described to me; An old fashioned Methodist family who would think bad of me for my tattoos. The uncle that I did get to meet, Ron, is a very nice man. Ivan introduced us and he shook my hand and gave me a sweet compliment. When I was watching Jack speak during the service, all I could think of was Steve. I was in complete awe. I was looking at my husband in the future. A kind man who spoke well and loved his family. I just hate the circumstances. I wish we could have gotten to know them without losing Steve Wheeler. The truth will come out about his death. I hope that IF there is anyone involved, that they rot in hell.

Not much more I could say about my MIL. I think Steve put it in the best perspective that anyone could.

Soon we will be moving. Steve needs to be able to get to know his sisters and hopefully the rest of his family. And without someone constantly sticking there nose right in the middle of it and acting like they would have never cared for him if they had known. They were never given the chance to know Steve as part of their family.
