My Not-Quite In-Laws

How you and her families met because of your kids’ relationships, and, despite how the kids broke up, you are still, staying, connected, with the possibilities of being in-laws in your, futures…translated…

My youngest son met a girl in high school, when they were dating, they interacted very, closely with each other.  They would go to our houses to visit, to dine too, we and her parents both have nothing but the best wishes for the young, couple, the girl’s mother even started noting my son as her future, son-in-law.

Because we take our son to the girl’s home, bumping into her parents, we’d shared the, greetings, we’d interacted quite well with one another, and we all have great views of our children’s futures, together.  Later, the girl was accepted to a university out of district, my son stayed in Hualien, to prepare for to take his college entrance again.  Maybe, it’s because the distances that’s in-between them now, with the varied experiences of life that they were having, they’d grown, apart, to ultimately, breaking, up.  We and her parents felt ashamed, her mother even noted my son as her “almost son-in-law”.

Despite how the kids no longer interacted with one another, the adults’ connections, stayed.  First we were reconnected because of the exercises, later, due to our shared life experiences, how our personalities were, similar to one another’s, we’d grown, closer to each other.  Especially of late, the girl’s mom and I would, use the apps to see how each other is doing, and we’d, given one another presents, visited one another’s, homes, from the not-quite in-laws, we’d become, good friends who tell each other everything, this was, not what either one of us had, expected.

That day, we’d gone out from lunch together, we’d talked about our kids’ relationship, how they are right now, their shared, friends, had a wonderful lunch together.  After lunch, we went to her older sister’s to visit, what’s coincidental was, her older sister’s daughter was a former student of, mine, while my youngest son, had already been, “pre-approved” by her older sister and older brother-in-law, we hit it off, although it was the very first time I’d visited them, it’d felt we’d been, friends, forever.,

We hope that our kids can reconnect with each other, to pick up from where they’d, left of, as for whether or not this will happen, none of us, know for sure, but one thing’s for certain, our friendships, connections with each other, will be, everlasting.

So, this is, how interesting affinity is, you lost your prospective future in-laws, because your children broke up, but, here comes, another, chance, for the two families to reconnect again, and whether or not it will happen, if your children will marry, it’s up to fate to tell.  But one thing’s for sure, you had established that friendship with the family already, and that will, not get, broken!
