Touching.<BR/><BR/>Second -- grief takes its time. How can you 'get over' something like the loss of a parent, particularly in a situation like a wedding and a gathering of family. I hope that people will be understanding -- and I suspect they may.<BR/><BR/>Third -- I did up one of those slideshows for a friend's wedding. They really are a lot of work! But so so worth it when everyone is oo-ing and ah-ing at the reception :-)Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812707312289852258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-56439116895971687932007-07-07T01:10:00.000-04:002007-07-07T01:10:00.000-04:00You guys are the best!

Your comments make me smile and nod and feel so much better.<BR/><BR/>We do have a wonderful blended family and my Mom (and her husband) will be at my step-brother's wedding. Awesome, I know. I know of families that are not blended and people are not even speaking to each other, friends we know have banned one set of parents from their lives. They have not met their second grandchild over some kind feud - that is a tragedy.<BR/><BR/>You are so right about grief too, it does feel like a <I> new </I> loss in so many ways and it is something I suppose you never really get over or even used to. <BR/><BR/>I promise to post a shot of the girls from the wedding day in all their finery. It will be a cute overload I fear.<BR/><BR/>You are some fine ladies and I thank you for your kind words.Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100043209000589029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-61651690635381945372007-07-06T22:18:00.000-04:002007-07-06T22:18:00.000-04:00They looks so adorable!They looks so adorable!OhTheJoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031731198115388411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-57928065269844364502007-07-06T21:24:00.000-04:002007-07-06T21:24:00.000-04:00Your girls are so pretty!Grief is such a personal ...Your girls are so pretty!<BR/>Grief is such a personal thing.

She's funny, but she's also wise. <BR/><BR/>We are dealing with blended family dynamics, but what I love about it is our ability to normalise all of that stuff for Mme L. She knows that her daddy had two dads and one mom and that each played a special role in his life. It's wonderful that your mom has been invited to the wedding.NotSoSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782162947524115936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-31724796441775171902007-07-06T15:07:00.000-04:002007-07-06T15:07:00.000-04:00I'm with AD - it's a natural part of the grieving ...I'm with AD - it's a natural part of the grieving process that events like this reawaken feelings of loss. In a sense it's a <I>new</I> loss, the absence of your father from so significant an event.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957626443087438904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35531426.post-80504412331872094742007-07-06T13:58:00.000-04:002007-07-06T13:58:00.000-04:00The girls look lovely.

The dresses are wonderfully girlish and so sweet. <BR/><BR/>I have trouble dealing with the nuclear family dynamics of my family and the OmegaMan's family - so I'm overwhelmed by this blended family you've created. But being motivated by love for the girls, is such a great thing.<BR/><BR/>I really dislike this term 'moving on.' To my thinking, grief isn't something you ever leave behind and never see again. It is something you revisit whenever you need to, and for however long you want. <BR/><BR/>Take care.<BR/><BR/>-Nan<BR/>aka she who knocks on wood constantlyN.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07533821425490415972noreply@blogger.com
