No they have been together for about 5 years

Marie: I'm so sorry for you that you cannot share in your son's joy with him at this moment. I pray all will be well within your family so you can be united again and share the moments of his wedding. I hope to see you in chat on Sunday.

Your volunteer work on the strokeboard is appreciated by me and I'm sure a lot of others. All we can do is try our best, let go and the rest will follow. We never know what God's plan is for ourselves or others.

Marie,

Congrats on your sons engagement. Sorry you were disappointed about not being part of the announcement and festivities, but he's happy and you know that's all you truly care about. I will also keep you in my prayers for a resolution. You deserve to be part of and see his wedding.

Maria :friends:

Thank you all for your replies. They are much appreciated. I am truly happy about my Dan's engagement. That he is happy is truly the important thing here. Especially that he is on the right road. I was very worried when he was a teeager that he would not amount to much, I am so happy I was wrong. He turned himself around into a responsable adult and I am very proud of him. I sent him a card yesterday, congratulating him on his engagement and for purchasing his first house. I can't wait to see if I will hear from him.
