Well Dan being so xcited--asked *how wonderful--who is HE?!!!
Diane replies, Dad, its a SHE!!!
Dan has a very closed *mind*--and was like
Dan to Diane---*maybe U should see a priest--maybe its a phase and a million other *reasons*---
Diane to Dad---*no dad--its the most happiest feeling I have ever had and I hope U can accept this---
Of course I understand Dan's feelings--and who know how I would feel but ya know what---Diane is *glowing* and for those who are appauled * by this --then its their issue---
What made me shiver is that her name is DENA--which is one of the daughters that Dan lost due to a motorocycle accident---
Dena is in with a band---drummer---and they are lead in for some well known groups---
Dena has moved in with Di---her son Jason--was very gracious and said *mom, if this makes u happy--I am with U--Jason being away @ college --I gather makes it easier for him too--
Her daughter is totally humiliated and moved in with the dad --
So a few of us were chosen to meeet @ Di's house --which is awesome--but there is $$$$ in the family---
And dont forget waaaaaaay back when we were first married---Dan-Noreen--me and Lou--bought a 2 family house and shared out happy times--all the kids that came along---and then after 5 years we bought our own places--
The party--which was to be small turned out to be about 75 peoples---plenty of food--drinks--
A few of Di's family werent invited cus they are totally *ashamed* and Dena;s mom feels the same --so she didnt come either--
Di's brother and SIL didnt show but all the rest of the kids came and it was really wonderful--Di's friends from school---Dena
s friend--everyone just made it a delightful night--
I heard that in another *year* there will be a ceremony uniting them-so it was a very nice time---Deb and Lynn have always been close with the girls cus each was born within 3 months of each other--of course Dan and Noreen had 6 kids--losing 2 girls--and Lou and I had but the 3
All of Dan;s kids are just gorgeous--and son Danny is just a hunk--if I say so my self-
So I guess we will soon be @ a reunion of these 2 and I wonder what it will be like--
I luve them all----We spoke of Noreen with the kids and to this day---they say---*Barb--U and mom were both crazy--hahahah--and how U 2 always made us laugh---
So it was JUST a birthday party for 2 people in luve and thats all I can add--
No gifts----but we gave each of the girls a rose--which was our gift of luve --that they have a life filled with many happy years--
luve Barbara
