Meet the Parents

How would that go?
Meeting her parents??? For one of them, it would be a first.
For another....well.... a different story.

We have actually discussed this...meeting the parents. Not in detail, but talked about it. She feels it would be best if a few years went by before I met her dad.

Not knowing what it is that they know or what she has told them....either way, it is obviously a good idea to wait if I am ever in the position to "meet" them.

I say it like that because I have met her Mom, a few times apparently. That will be the embarrassing part; I don't remember meeting her. I do remember the panic of an early return from a trip (we were literally in the middle of it) and talking to Delores' mom in the kitchen....I would never know who she was if she punched me in the face right now.

I have never met her Dad...strange... I took her to the prom. I have a vague recollection of seeing him.. but not actually meeting him. But I was a pretty fucked up kid at the time. I screwed a lot of things up; including myself, but I don't remember ever meeting him.

If they don't know my involvement right now, they'll end up figuring it out at some point. They're not stupid people. I hope they just give me a shot..... just to prove who I am, and not think of who I was. Delores has done that. I know she has. She has looked past a troubled kid and seen what he is capable of as a man.

If they do know my involvement..... I do sales, I sell myself everyday. And not as a cheesy, used carpet guy does; I sell myself on merit, reliability, responsibility, honesty....and over all.... if I say I'm gonna do it, I do it.
It will be a long, hard, uphill battle for me (if I get that far), but I didn't join the Marines to be a coward, and give up when the going got tough, either.

I would love to be given that opportunity, the chance, to meet her parents (again). I would really like the shot at proving that I'm not really such a bad guy.... and that I might actually be able to make her smile on a daily basis........
I wish I could be given that... that other "once in a lifetime" shot at a second chance.
The one where I prove my worthiness of a girl's affection... to her parents.
Not because they necessarily like me.....but because I make her happy......... and that should make them happy
