Kimberly - good for you for defending the love of your life - Howie.....I'm so glad I came hear to read this thread - you two are such a beautiful couple. Wish you could sprinkle some of your kindness to everyone.......

Yes Kimberley is a Keeper. I would rather she had not sent that but I know she did it out of love and it turned out good. I knew he did not mean it and would have rather just let it slide but it is nice that he knows and maybe he will spread the word.

Kimberly, what a well thought out worded email. I think it was wonderful the way you worded your response. What a great person that Howie has in his corner!

I know I was harsh in what I said, but...Oh, man, don't go messin' with my fella. What I wrote was tame compared to what was going on in my noggin. Howie's got enough on his mind with his surgery coming up, feeling anxious and all of that - he doesn't need to hear comments like that right now. I know his family loves him (who couldn't?), so I hope they'll take what I wrote in the spirit in which it was written: Hey, y'all, be kind to your cousin!

Isn't it great to get things out in the open? Excellent letter Kimberly and Howie your response was great as well. Sometimes people just don't mean things they say, but you're feelings get hurt in how the comment was said. I'm glad you've settled things with your family.
