Years ago, I had a relative by marriage who could be painfully honest, even if in a kidding way.
For instance, upon arrival for a three day holiday gathering at their home, he announced as we came up the front steps with five year old Melissa in tow, “Welcome! We’re always glad to see you come. And we’ll be glad to see you go.”
Um. How does one respond to that?
All these decades later, I smile…
