Update: Terry's Granny.

When Terry and I met today, the first thing out of my mouth was:

" What about Granny? "

He said, that she would have to learn to accept the fact that I'm the one he chose. He wants to marry me, and one day have children. He found me, and there's no way he could ever find anyone who makes him happier than I do. Not only that, because he wouldn't even want to look. He went on about why I make him happy, and that was all really sweet, and fantastic. But again...

What about Granny?

We've been engaged since September 27, 2008. We plan on getting married June 13, 2009. She knew we were engaged, she saw the ring, we told her about the wedding together. She never said anything then. Deep down, she was hoping that something would happen to break us up, before the wedding came around. Well, not so deep down, because I could see it in her eyes every time she looked at me.

Yes, Terry is her grandson, but she has a lot of grandchildren. Heck, Terry's older brother Gary still lives at her house as well! It's not like she's going to be alone, I wouldn't want her to be alone. She's really at a point in her life when she does need someone there with her.

Why do I say that? Well, I'm sure most of you will remember the article about their furnace catching on fire- and her leaving Terry upstairs sleeping for an hour in a house filled with smoke before waking him up. Yeah- she needs someone there with her.

Terry says if she wants to be cruel and spiteful, then let her go at it. She'll end up realizing what a mistake she's making. I told him I didn't want him to put her out of his life. I do want them to continue to have a relationship, and he should still visit her, and what not.

He said he would, but he's tired of hearing her say bad things about me. I can understand that, it's hard to hear someone you love say bad things about someone else that you love. But there's nothing we can do to change her mind. I cannot force the woman to like me. And- I'm not going to bend over backwards to try and form some sort of civil relationship between us.

It takes two people to make civil work, and she's not interested in trying. If she wants to loathe me, that's her problem. Because I could have been a really great friend to her, if she had given me the chance.

I'm not going to worry about it anymore, and neither is he. We're going to move on with our life, and if she wants to be a part of it, she's welcome- so long as she can be CIVIL about it. If she doesn't want to try, then , again it's her loss. I've done everything I can do at this point.

I love Terry, we're moving in together, we're getting married, and one day we're going to start a family of our own.
