When I first met Billy & Carol, I was taken right away by their warm and loving welcome to their Labor day party. I escorted my wife, Linda Humes to the party.
After making the rounds meeting the family and enjoying the spectacular festivities, Billy pulls me aside, and says he needed a word with me.
The smile never left his face as he looks me over.
"I see you and Linda are pretty serious", Bill asked me.
"She took my heart from the moment I laid eyes upon her", I hesitantly replied.
"So", Billy continued, "Just what are your intentions toward Linda?"
I was a bit surprised by the interagation, but I managed to answer, "I Plan to Love her and give her everything she deserves. Her happiness is what keeps me going."
Bill spent a moment pondering my words and the sincerity of them, looked up at me, grabs my hand, and smiling, says, "Welcome to the family, Son. I think you mean it, and if I find out you don't, you'll have me to contend with!"
I must admit, I was not expecting this conversation, but after getting to know Bill, I see that he wants his family happy and well cared for.
On the way home after the services, I made mention of this story to Linda and her brother Ed. Ed told me that he & Jack had left that little talk to the "Tough Guy" in the family. They wanted to see how well I faired against the best the family had to offer!
Once I had Billy's seal of approval, that was all that Jack and Ed needed to hear.
Bill, You will be missed dearly.
