my mom and i have had to have a lot of very difficult conversations this weekend. apparently since dad didn't think he needed a will, i have to be consulted on things i never expected, making things even more difficult for my mom.
she mentioned that she and dad got engaged over valentine's day weekend. my oldest cousin, four at the time, told my mom that dad had a ring in his pocket. she never told him she knew.
he drove her out to this little restaurant called Grandma's House where they had their first real date. they got there and it was burned down. so they drove out to the camp for disabled kids in anacoco where they met as counselors. he asked her to marry him that valentine's weekend. it was snowing.
i saw her face with the snow behind her as she realized the gravity of it all and i will never forget it.
