Question

rosies father
rosie sat on the couch near the window, quietly sucking, and every now and then, glaring at her mother. her mother ruby, who was busy making lunch in the kitchen, initially found this quite humorous, but on seeing that rosies mood wasnt about to change anytime soon, paused her work and sat with rosie.
osie, you have been looking at me like im your worst enemy. whats the matter, sweetie?\ ruby asked, taking little rosie onto her lap.
\it isnt fair that youre okay with daddy going away so often when my friends dads are always home with them. last time, daddy had promised me that he would be back within a week, but this time, he made no such promise and only said that he would return as soon as his boss lets him come home. its my summer vacation! daddy had promised that he would teach me how to play baseball, and that wont be possible if hes too busy away from us.\
ruby contemplated what her daughter had just told her and realized how much she had been missing silly old greg as well. when he was at home, the commotion he made would drive her insane, and they would always end up arguing. but he would always make up for it by taking her out dancing or for a fancy meal, and telling her how gorgeous he finds her even today. now, whenever he was called on duty or a military posting overseas, rubys heart would twist in fear for her husband. although she knew he was as safe as he could be, a part of her wished she had her husband by her side.
\i know, sweetie, it must be really hard for you to see daddy go away so often. it is hard for me as well, but you have to understand that daddy is going to serve our country and protect us all from bad people. hey, how about i tell you how daddy and i met? that ought to cheer you up!\
with that, ruby began narrating the story of how she and greg met for the first time. rosie listened attentively. they had met during gregs sophomore year in college when greg had changed schools to be closer to home. ruby had barely paid him any attention until gregs friends had come up to her and told her that greg liked her but was too shy to approach her. ruby thought that it was all rather silly, but decided to talk to greg to see if his friends were right. it turned out that they couldnt have been more wrong, and they were simply trying to get her to talk to greg, who was smart, enthusiastic, and a keen observer. soon, they began spending time together and ruby even introduced greg to her parents, who were rather disagreeable toward him. they did not believe that he was disciplined enough to make it into the army. but greg proved them wrong and became one of the best military cadets of his batch.
rosie was surprised to hear that her grandmother, who now could not stop praising her son - in - law, had once disliked
