I have just returned from New Year's dinner at W's. The kids were just so happy and energized and I know it was cuz they had daddy home. It's hard when you see how excited they are and know you have to go back to your apartment. It was a nice dinner together and W updated me on her family in China. I also asked her about my friend coming to D10's Meet. I decided that because these Meets have always been family time that it was probably appropriate to ask for her OK, if she is uncomfortable then I would ask my friend not to come. I explained that my friend was a classmate, had been a gymnast in Eastern Europe and would love to see D10 compete, was W comfortable with her joining us. W said that was fine. So I feel that I was respectful by asking. At nights end W and D's walked me to the door and I kissed D's goodbye and W stood there, I had the feeling she wanted either to hug me or for me to hug her, I didn't. Is that good or bad, I dunno but I didn't although I had the urge to kiss her cheek. I didn't.
