Whenever you marry someone, you also get a family out of it. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not so much. I've been very fortunate that Diana's family has, for the most part, been very welcoming and fun to be around.
Unfortunately, that family picture will also never be complete for me. About two months before Diana and I met, her mom passed away. In fact, when we first made contact via an online dating site, she was in Florida caring for her, and she apologized we couldn't meet because of that. It seemed strange that someone would apologize for that, and at the time I had no expectation that we would ever meet, circumstances being what they were.
In the six years since that time, I've seen countless photos, heard many stories, about my mother-in-law. Diana thinks she would have really liked me, and from everything I've heard, I suspect I would have really liked her.
