.....a house full of grandchildren!  The three sweetest boys ever are all at grandma's house and I believe we are all friends now.  What a grand joy to have them here.  Life is full, from the changing table to the high chairs to the toys scattersed across the floor.  I have posted pictures and I hope you all enjoy them.  Of course it is never as good as the real thing!

The Other Woman

I knew there had been another woman in his life before I married him.  He had been in her tender embrace and sweetly kissed by her.  She was his first love and held his heart close to her own.  Though I knew this, I did not take it too seriously because now I had won his heart.  He was lying by me and his affections towards me were real, loving and strong.  He left her for me.  I have loved him abundantly yet he has always also loved this other woman.  I could not compete.  She has an influence over him that has marked him for life.  Yet I am not jealous or outraged, nor do I berate her or try to dissuade him from his love for her.  Rather I see it as sweet and tender and even encourage it.  Is this a modern age warped sense of the expression of free love?  How can I let this relationship continue?  Well, it is very simple.  The other woman in my husband’s life is his mother.  And I hold his love for his mother dear to my own heart.  It is a relationship that is sweet to behold.

This is dedicated to all daughter-in-laws who have wonderful mother-in-laws.    Happy Early Mother's Day Mom Wesner.

This was written over a year ago after seeing how sweetly my husband loves his mother.  I have never felt threatened by that love because he treats me with the same sweetness and love.  I have been blessed...times two!...once with the love of a wonderful man and twice with a fantastic mother-in-law!  And I am also the other woman to a dear daughter-in-law.  Thank you Evie for letting Steve love me!  Can't wait for you to be close!
