Mother has gone mental. Seriously and worryingly.
But my daughter is getting married and has asked me to 'give her away'.
( I put it in apostrophes, whatever, cos I would never ever give her away. If you know what I mean?!)
Poor you, and lucky old you. Sad news about Ma. But a wedding! Hats and everything! Life goes on. arrange the right care for ma so that you don't get overstressed, and feel no guilt nor regrets. And give that gal away with pride.
I gave my daughter away as her dad had died previously. I was so proud but so nervous, I had to give the father/mother of the bride speech. I could hardly read my notes I was shaking so much, i really enjoyed the experience so go gal go for it.
