You never know with love... I was scared S...less 50 years ago when I got dragged "home" to meet my future in-laws, mom accepted me as a "leather craftsman" in whom she saw more than I knew I had in me.

I got good in-laws also. They always made me feel welcome and loved.

Really, Mark, it's a great little story. It was a nice change of pace from the more serious stuff I had been reading.

Thanks, Richard. I am glad. A steady diet of seriousness and bad news is not good. We also need some joy. 🤓

I was hoping for a happy ending! But it’s you, so I couldn’t be sure. 😶

Not that I can cast any stones myself, mind you. 😉

I love this, Mark. Scotland has a traditional old folk song with a similar story of a couple of different status who get together in the end. It is still so romantic, even at my age. Thanks

A common theme throughout time. True love doesn't care about status.

Thank you, Sharron. 🤓
