You might wonder who in the world could be best friends with her husband’s first wife you might ask? Well, when my dad and Darlene got married she lovingly treated my sister and I as if we were her own. We also loved her as our “other” mother, more even as time went on. I told her in private several times that I was so proud and fortunate to have her in our life and considered her as our own. Over a few years down the road, my birth mom realized how she treated us and they gradually became best friends that ended up lasting a lifetime. Those lucky enough to know Darlene personally can understand this could be because of the wonderful person she was. My dad loved her with his whole heart and I hope they are together. RIP (other) Mom
