Your sister's marriage is a good thing, nicht wahr?
Yes, as we get old more people we know die :-( Were you close?
Did anything get broken or stolen from your parents house?
Well, twas a friend of my parents, really.
Yes, I've lost a few friends... and a couple of family members this year, so I do understand. But I tend to be philosophical about such matters...
But the marriage (and the emigration too) was a good thing. But talking about having mixed feelings!
A change as big as that is going to cause ambivalence... but as long as your sister is happy, that is all you can ask for!
Well, there was a bit broken, not much though. But after that there has been repeatedly broken into my parent's house, leaving them completely startled. They're better now, and the main suspect has been caught and has confessed. (it's a local village, for local people, where my parents live, you know ;-) )
Ha! that's great news! :-)
