post from 2010: i promise, one of these days i will have a glowing blog to share and not doom and gloom. i am blessed to be alive and i am doing really well in school this time around. i just wish my parents would accept the person i choose to love and want to spend my life with. i pray that one day they will. i want them present for my happy moment which should be theirs too. i have decided to go ahead with it either way, it is my happiness and my future and i know and hope there is at least one person on my side of the family that will support us. i have to and still am waiting to see what it in store in regards to everything. we are still going strong. a special thank you to all who have and still do love and support me, it means more than i can ever thank you all for!
2013 update: we are still together 3+ years! wahoo! parents still have their view even though i am almost 30 :( but...what would you do? forgo the parental blessing and marry who you love or fall into the trap that it will not work? hmmm?
~more to come later/eloquently rambling...
I hope things continue to work you for you!
ReplyDeletethank you heather, i hope they continue to work out too!
DeleteMy father passed when I was 17. My mother did not care for my husband either. But we are together for nearly 18 years now, have 3 children and our relationship has gotten even better over the years. They say most marriages that are going to break up do so in the first year, so I say the odds are with you and your beloved. :O)
ReplyDeleteLuAnn, thank you and congrats for many wonderful years to you and yours! you know they say the more they push you to leave and say bad things about something, the more likely you are to stay with them in an attempt to prove them wrong!
DeleteObi, first I want to say Go FSU! (I'm the lone bit of sanity in a family of Gator fans. ;-)) Second, when it comes to your relationship and your family - yes, family IS important, but ultimately, it's your happiness that matters. Even if it turns out that this relationship isn't something that will last forever and your family is right to worry, you need to find that out for yourself. You've got to take your own chances. Try to make them understand, but ultimately, follow your heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm stopping by from Thirsty for Comments Thursday. If you feel like stopping back by my blog, you can find me here: http://sanitysoverrated.blogspot.com. And you'll be ok. *hugs*
Amber! WAHOO!!! GO NOLES! i am going to add you to my list b/c of this! Ha! i am sure it is interesting reading too. it looks like a chance i will have to take on my own. i am prepared for it. maybe when grand-babies come around they may as well for their sake.
Deleteit says your blog is not found. just wanted to let you know. i would like to follow :)
Deletei found it. i just had to hunt for it starting with clicking on your name and it taking me to your google page.
DeleteThere comes a time when you have to live your life..out from under your parents. Parents don't have to agree with or even support the life choices, but they are still there to help when we fall.. Or they should be!
ReplyDeleteSherryl, you are right! i hope they will still be there to help if needed. i pray i get into nothing that dangerous however.
DeleteGood luck with whatever path you choose. Thank you for hooking up with Thirsty for Thursday. Sorry for it taking a couple of days to get around to comment. It was a crazy week.
ReplyDeleteWayne, thank you for you comment. hope to link up for more soon!
Deletewhile parents want the best for us, they don't always know what's right for us. live the life you love.
ReplyDeleteElle, good advice! i think in the end that is what i have to and will do.
