More good days

We had a nice labor day weekend. I spent some time alone with Te's mom. We were camping, and I was helping her make dinner one afternoon. She asked how things were going. I think she would like to feel more involved. The sisters-in-law have our discussions about things, but she has been left out a little bit.

I told her that things were going well. I told her about my experience with Te where I was really nervous, and told him that I couldn't handle being lied too again right now, so if there was anything he needed to tell me, to please do it now, and how he said that he had nothing to hide. (sorry about the run on sentence...)

That made her feel good, and she told me several times how glad she was that I was sticking with him and being so understanding. I think she is really afraid that one of the daughters-in-law would divorce her son because of their addiction. I told her that it was hard sometimes, but that I loved Te, and that we were working on things. I said that there is never a guarantee that life will be easy. There's no guarantee that life would be any better without Te, and I do think that it would be much harder in many ways.

Life doesn't need to be better. It's pretty good right now. We've had a long weekend of good days too add to the collection.
