Forgiveness

My father in law have talked things out and I have apologized for insulting him in such a public forum. The discussion went both ways. Most importantly we talked openly and completely. He honored my communication style of non-superficial conversation. He was gracious and I was thankful. He hugged me and told me that he loved me for the first time ever and it was probably the most important event to me as a member of this family since my marriage because I felt I was heard for the first time in 10 years of knowing the Anderson's. I apologize to those of you who were informed of my blog second hand and hopefully will also be informed of this apology entry as well in order to be equally fair. Please understand that we have all said and done things inappropriate or hurtful in our lives and please do not hold this mistake against me as I was defending my family in my heart of all hearts.
