Um…hi

Last Sunday May 24 2015 we met my father in law’s girlfriend. But first let’s do a back story.

My mother in law died three years ago. She was an amazing person. I loved her as much I love my own mother. We had an awesome relationship! I miss her very much. I guess I should say we all miss very much!

After her passing my father in law Ken told us that they talked about what would they if one should die before the other. The answer is to not live this life alone. We can’t argue that. It’s just I think that Ken should had a talk with Jeff about it. It’s not that Jeff objects to it, it’s just strange because Ken only waited a year after.

So about a year after her passing Ken had a brief relationship and we met her. Her name was Karen. This only a year! It was so very strange. I even felt awkward meeting her. I can understand Jeff being weirded out.

After Karen there was, get this. It’s strange. Caron another Karen just different spelling. They went for a while and we met her. She is strange. She really shy and that is not the reason why she is strange. You know with some people you get a strange vibe. Yeah I get that from her. Anyways she lets her daughter run her life. It’s so wrong. Her daughter and she live in a duplex side by side. Her daughter has a daughter and makes her mom watch or should I say raise her. It’s ridiculous! And she doesn’t stand up to her. Jeff and I just knew that Ken and she wouldn’t last because of that. Ken is in is mid-sixties. He raised kids all ready. Guess what? That is what it came down too. Ken had enough of waiting for her and her grandchild.

However they are friends. Even though when they are together and we see them. It seems like they are dating just how they act towards each other. It’s very strange but whatever. Oh and if she calls for anything, Ken is out the door really fast. I say the queen called and her royal subject better get over there. We laugh about that.

Then he went on some dates here and there. We started to lose track of all the dates. Till recently. This past weekend we had Monday off because Memorial Day. Ken was gone from Friday till Monday night. He is never gone that long. It’s not like we care. Actually opposite we could care less. It’s his life. Anyways we met his girlfriend Elena on Sunday. And I have to say she is a very nice lady. Older than the others but I think that is good thing. Ken and Elena are both in their sixties. I think that it’s great because they are closer in age. Can talk about more things.

I understand from Jeff’s perspective seeing his dad with another woman is strange. I think I would feel the same way if it was my dad with another woman. But I also look at how happy Ken is when they are together. And I think that if it was my dad. I would want the same. I would want him to happy too. So I think that it’s great that Ken and Elena are together. We will see what the future holds. But I have good feeling about her. And like I said she is a really nice and funny lady. Easy to get along with.
