Michael and Kymberly Ann 9/23/06
I attended Michael's installment which was pretty neat to be a part of, I have to say. I met some wonderful people and shook an amazing amount of hands and it was a great time. Also, they were offering their congrats on our engagement left and right. It was a wonderful night and a beautiful time, and we are just really happy. I'm proud of him. He was REALLY nervous. (so was I...) The only sad thing was that more couldn't be there to be proud of him. It makes me sad how incredibly hateful and full of deceit people are. We all could have had such a wonderful time togeether and shared in Michael's happiness but the path chosen was to just sit back on the phone and barrage Michael with insults when he shared his happy news. (I expected that sadly,as did he but what can you do.) The truth is too unbearable that he might actually be happy having his own life so the lies and the insults flew like a swarm of bees. People can be so small. What a horrible thing to do. I'm disgusted. Thankfully it didn't ruin Michael's night for him and we made some new and wonderful friends. We have a happy and good life. Hopefully everything else will burn itself out or just go away so that things can return to normal and we all can share in the happiness instead of brooding over some stupid pettiness that really belongs in the arena of teenagers. I know that in fact this post will be read and who knows what it will spur but my hope is that we will be just left alone. Michael deserves to be happy and so do I, as do all of our children. I hope everyone can understand this and just stop this absurd bickering and put down after put down. I wish I could see his children too but thanks to the evil they never come over anymore, and refuse to speak to me and I don't know why. I can imagine, but I don't have confirmation. My children miss them very much and also miss thier future grandparents but they were tossed aside like they never mattered, as if they had anything to do with all of this. That's what hurts the most I think. How the children are being used as pawns to hurt others. People can be horrifficly selfish and nasty, they don't see what they themselves are hurting or throwing away. It's all so sad. We will overcome this. Or move on. Either way, everything will be ok. No matter how hard some try to make it otherwise. I love Michael and he loves me and we have a wonderful life together and you are just going to have to learn to accept that, like the many wonderful people in our lives sharing in our happinss right now.
