I said it in that same nervous and proud way. A sort of test to see if the most controversial thing in my life was not even a blip on the radar.<br /><br />My boyfriend has met my dad, heard stories of my dad's first boyfriend (they were together for 9 years and I consider him a part of my family and life still) and accepts it as normal. <br /><br />That is my family, that is me, and he loves that. <br /><br />We always underestimate how powerful love is, until we see it change lives, move mountains and win wars. <br /><br />Thank you for letting the news of your wife's normal family not even be a blip on the radar. <br /><br />Love, <br />ElaynaElaynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347537330432931681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-35819229333735395632012-10-30T19:51:30.858-06:002012-10-30T19:51:30.858-06:00Yes, I cried again.

Love is normal. It’s easy to misunderstand or hate an idea because it's jumbled up in your head with a bunch of other ideas. It’s a lot more difficult to hate your neighbor."

Your blog amazes me on how deeply you think and care.
