oh yay!! what a glorious fabulous wonderful day!! I am so happy and excited! the one last thing I was worrying about is resolved! Back on my first visit to Mexico, I had tried to explain about my son to my future mother in law. I had thought she understood me, but it turned out she had not. she thought i was talking about my deceased brother. this created a lot of angst on my part, because it was important to me that she know about him, and that she not think or feel like i deceived her in any way. S.O.’s friend on that trip had mentioned something about my son in her hearing, and when we all were in the airport saying goodbye she mentioned something to him about it, but he freaked out and deflected it, telling me “see, I TOLD you she didn’t understand you”. so it was left at that, and I left it up to him to say something to her. It got put off and put off, and nothing more was said about it.

So today, we were talking via MSN, and I was talking about coming in June and all the things in my car, and she mentioned coming with my dogs in the car, and I said “yes, Tinkerbell and Blossom and Jacob, and the piano, and tv, clothes, so many things”. she asked me “who is Jacob”. so i took a deep breath and told her “I told you about him and showed you pictures when I was there.” she told me that she thought I had been talking about my brother who had died. I said no, his name was Joshua, this was Jacob. and she said “so he is your son”

she then proceeded to assure the that she was totally ok with it. she didn’t feel lied to, that Jacob has her affection too. that everything is totally completely ok. She told me she had a little idea but never followed up with it but I didn’t need to worry in the least. She said further it was really good that I talked with her about it, so that i didn’t need to worry anymore at all. so i am doing the happy dance!!! the once last thing I was worried about is no more!! she loves me, and my son and all is well! she assures me we are both welcome always. She was so cute, asked me to make sure the S.O. is good with my son! not the other way around ROTFL. but wanted to make sure he was good with my son. I assured her that he is. That not only does Jacob love him very much, but he and I talked of these things this visit as well. So now I know there is absolutely NOTHING standing in my way of going to Mexico!! yay!! of course, I am a little scared to say that..but still. it is such a huge weight off my chest, to know that is settled and taken care of. all is well today in my life. n_n
