oh sweetie- you're being so hard on yourself.
i know what it seems like- i see how it is- i can put myself
in your shoes and uncle stubborn and mom will think what they want,
you can't change that-

here is the situation as i see it:
you two finally get to be together more
and, in fact, this type of transition may turn out
to be much better than you can imagine right now~

you both have been doing your best- life doesn't go
according to our plans, no matter how much we want it to~
you are doing a husband's job already or cindy wouldn't be
with you- you've been there for her for some time now
and the both of you have been working so hard on the houses
in addition to everything that planning a wedding
and a future together takes!

yes, you're being very hard on yourself-
and i understand your disappointment
but i hope very much that you will set it aside
and revel in the excitement of simply living together
on a daily basis, side by side and step by step~
you're a great catch and cindy knows that already~
one step at a time and enjoy the sites,
that's what i say~
*love*
