“I’m just glad you have managed to find someone you enjoy spending time with. I was lucky to find someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and when he was gone, I guess a part of me went with him. I dated a few people but finding that special person is hard to come by. I’m glad my girls are doing well in their careers, but I would like to see some grandchildren come along while I’m still young enough to enjoy them,” my mother said, ignoring Yolanda’s effort to divert the attention.
“So what does your boyfriend do?” my uncle Ross asked. Nosiness cuts across gender lines in my family.
