Tonight, we took my 19 year old brother-in-law and his girlfriend out to dinner. I made an effort to reach out to Travis* because he had just moved out of his parents' house under less than terrific circumstances. This was the first time we have met his girlfriend. They have been dating for about 6 months, and now they are living under the same roof. She hasn't met his parents. Well, she is delightful and she couldn't be cuter. She's an English major!
Pizza isn't a big deal, but I think it was a small gesture that will go a long way. I hope he feels loved, and I hope she feels accepted by his family.
*not his real name.
