I was over-joyed this weekend after hearing from a dear friend how her parents have finally accepted her fiance and their engagement.
It's been many many heart-wrenching years, full of tears, worries, denials, and struggles. It felt like choosing between family and her significant other. And miracle of miracles, they finally broke down after her tearful confession and said, "If he makes you happy, then so be it. So where's the wedding? What's going to happen? Who are your bridesmaid? We should invite him over for dinner..." God has heard our prayers. Their words and their actions are a total 180. She wonders if it's just a big joke because it's just too good to be true.
I about cried at hearing the news and am so excited for them! The couple and the family. We all desire the acceptance of our parents. And them planning for the wedding without her parents' blessings was eating her up. Even with an ulcer to show. So now it's time to charge forward and get everything done. And with a BIG smile on our faces!
We had our similar share of drama so I was able to relate to her through the years. But now my Parents love Sam to death. They'll even call him up to talk to him. When he can't go over for dinner with me once a week, they miss him. It's really sweet, it makes me happy.
We're both very fortunate to have wonderful in-laws that treat us like their own children. It's not just on the surface, but we feel and know that they love us deeply. "DEEEEEPLY", as Pastor Gaw would say. And we in return. Praise God for that.

this is a really nice story...im praying for a miracle in my relationship too...
"unbearable" was used because the person's piano playing is sooooo annointed, you kinda don't know what to do when you hear it...kind of dazed...kind of hope they won't stop...and you want to keep that music somewhere where you can hear it over and over again. i think that's why it's unbearable. hehe
It's wonderful when things work out like that! Sometimes I think a little struggle like that, makes things seem even more worth it.
deep deep deeeeeeeEEEEEpplyyy. (with gut-wrenching, machine-like sound)
yayyyyyy!!
i'm so happy for them!!! 
wow...that's great! hope we can have that too one day...
we're really not just marrying one person, are we? it's merging of 2 families with all their uniqueness and dysfunctions and what-have-you. thank God for good in-laws!
