Back to our balancing act

The in-laws have been dropped at the airport.

Now, Triple S and I can return to trying to balance on our tightrope, without anyone else trying to hang on to it, bouncing it around or otherwise disturbing our ability to (mostly) keep it together.

Triple S' parents are supportive. His dad is more quiet about it; his mom listens well. She also is supportive of me. Many times, the only acknowledgment that I receive is from her (such as on FB, she wrote on my birthday that she knew I had gone though something very unique, and didn't wish me a HB - just like I had requested).

Our life is a life of missing our daughter, but it is ours to live. And right now, it is easier to live it out, day-to-day, by ourselves.

That's how we like to roll over here.

Glad they are gone. I would have lost my mind if I were you.

My in laws are assholes. Havn't spoken to em in years. It works for us. I'm glad yours are so understanding. That's a treasure.

Couldn't agree more.
