Boarding School, Marriage

The boarding school my sister has been considering called her the other night and let her know that she got a HUGE scholarship. Such a large scholarship that would enable my sister to live in Tennessee for most of the year is apparently a deciding factor in whether my mom will marry Ernie.

My mom is planning on selling her house and finding a new home with Ernie.

She doesn't love him. She has admitted that. She is marrying him because he is nice, safe, and financially well-off. Really, those are the only reasons. No love whatsoever.

Now that my mom doesn't have to worry (in her mind) about how her living with Ernie will affect marry 'cus Mary is going to boarding school, my mom can marry him.
