So my dad is remarrying...
Those of you know me probably know that my mom passed away in 2005. If you didn’t… well, you do now. My dad of all people has had trouble getting over this, meaning he never really has. He still has her stuff all over his apartment and talks about her constantly.
Which is exactly why I was quite shocked when he called me saying he is engaged.
I knew he had been dating this woman, Janet, and that they were pretty serious. But I also know that they’ve only been dating each other exclusively for, at most, two months. Maybe he was dating her on and off before then. Who knows, he never told me. But no more than two months of steady dating. And he is marrying her.
Oh well. It’s not that I hate her or something. I just want my dad to be happy, and I’m not entirely convinced that this is the way for him to do it. I guess we will see. In the meantime, I guess I will have a stepmother and two stepbrothers. Bizarre.
