No guilt trips!

My family is messy.
On so many levels.
And that is okay.
Because when push comes to shove, I think we've got a lot of the important things in order.
Or at least they are the priority.

My lovely parents eloped the end of April. We are all just tickled. I smile just thinking about it.

Their reception is this weekend. and no matter which way you look at it we can't make it happen.

I feel guilt. We want to be there...

But here is where I am grateful.

They keep asking is there any way we can go? We keep looking at it and saying we don't think so...

And there is no guilt tripping. There is no, "Well everyone else is going to be here, if you cared about us/them you would do what needs to be done to get here."

Instead, it is, "We've been there, we get it. We'll miss you."

So grateful. So SO grateful for kind understanding parents.

I hope your party is AWESOME!
