It's always fun when you are visiting family and an argument over nothing erupts.

If there is an extinction level meteor coming and getting to a secret military underground bunker is the only hope of survival for you and your family and you actually get the there despite all odds, then your wife will forgive your infidelity. But that is the only pathway to reconciliation.
Pretty sure I nailed the moral of that story.
Right, that’s why “family” for me moving forward is chosen. In my case, it’ll be roughly a 50/50 breakdown of people I’m actually related to and then friends whom I trust and love that deeply. But not all “family” are relatives for me anymore, and not all relatives are family.

On Friday our son graduated from VaTech. A great day and accomplishment for a fine young man.
Yesterday, I shaved my beard(!), clambered into my uniform for the first time in 10+ years, and commissioned him a 2ndLt in the USMC. The uniform was a "dad prank" - as only my bride knew of my intention. The rest of the family was totally unprepared - and the prankster in me was appropriately rewarded.
My sincere worries that I'd be making his day about me proved unfounded. And our family has photos that could never have been achieved in any other way.

Good news! I've got gas!
