  1. You are truly blessed to find such a good friend in your daughter-in-law. My son is just not involved with his first girlfriend. Did you have a hard time deciding if your daughter-in-law was 'good enough' for your son?

  2. Hi Shesue,
    Yes, I am blessed to have such a great daughter-in-law. She and my son were secretly married before we met. Luckily we liked each other and our relationship grew.

    My son and his first "serious" girlfriend met in college. I did meet her and did not care for her. My son, whom I trust to be a judge of good character and bad, broke up with her. Later her mother was found guilty of murder for hire, having had a young man murdered for breaking up with her youngest daughter. That could have been my son! It's a famous case here in Texas: Hint: Mom is the wife of a prominent surgeon.

  3. Very nice post for your daughter-in-law. It is always nice when you like the mate of your son or daughter chooses. My son in law is great,and couldn't have asked for a better match for my daughter. They had a whirl wind romance while we were living in France and married three months after they met!! They are still happy and have now been married for 4 years.

    Your story of your son's near miss with hit man sounds so scary!! Yikes!
