When was the last time you played truth or dare? It was never one of my favorite childhood games. I much more preferred to play kick the can, tag, or cards like crazy eights, war or my most favorite time was playing pinochle with my gram on the front porch while she sat on the swing.
My children also liked playing games; learning to play little league baseball, yes I was that mom who was at every game to cheer him on, or at the soccer field watching and working the concession stand. Teaching them how to play cards, UNO was always a family fun night. At times not too much fun for some as life lessons to be taught; be a good looser when you looser and a nice winner when you win.
As I grow older I find the same type of joy when I get to play all sort of games with my grandchildren. They are always delighted and very eager to join me or should I say beat me in a game or two. Passing on to the next generation the love of the game.
Today, however it seems like that old game that I never enjoyed and refused to play came knocking at my door; Truth or Dare. Well, the truth is I love my entire family if you really want to know and the dare is don't judge a book by its cover you know not what you speak of. I will not play this game with you!

This is Amy, I am down here at the college, so I am not sure if it will make me sign in or not, but I just want to say how much I care and am saddened by all the pain you are being caused. I have known you long enough to know that you would do anything in your power to benefit your children and their lives and your grandchildren are your greatest happiness, all of them!!!! I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt. You and I have had our difficulties, so the accusations of mind control are so ludicrous, what is true is that we have both worked very hard at this relationship and it has born the fruits of mutual respect, kindness, understanding, support, and love. I wish those same things for you with all your in-law children, present, past, and future. Love you. Keep trusting God, He will work it all out for good. Until then we can weep with those who weep...
