Family...
We see them once a year or so on my man's side, usually in Oklahoma.  I'm reminded why I like alcohol.  Ha.
They are wonderful, and overwhelming, and selfish, and generous, and self-centered, and focused only on others needs, and everything I am and love to be and hate to be.  
Here it is in my face....
They're blunt.  They don't hide their flaws.
Neither do I, at this point.  
Well, I try.  I'm the daughter in law, I have to....sometimes...and so do they.
So here we are....and then there's the silence...cause, see I haven't popped out any kids yet, and they seem to be the focal point of entertainment during those deadly silences that make everything seem more comfortable.
Let's break out the alcohol!
