Nothing much more to say

And so,life goes on..nothing much more to say, for now.

Having written the thank you to my former MIL, and also a note of apology to my first DIL, all remains silent. There is a side of being a MIL that is very much in the background. Itmay be my apology has not been accepted - or that their are other more important things going on -- I am not the center, I know that, and it doesn't cause me any strong feelings. It is what it is.

Apologies do not need to be accepted -- I am surprised how I am not angry or saddened by the silence. I've done what I could. Time to move on with my own life.

My plan is to take off soon - when I am 62, my youngest will be off to college, we do hope if finances work for us. And that will somewhat end 42 years of being a full time mother.

My plan at this moment is to take off myself for a year or so in an RV... we'll see if that works. But how does that fit in to relationships with sons and their wives? I suspect as long as I am not needed, it's fine. I'm in the background of their lives, though it is still the centerfold of my own.
