Fire's burning out...just smoldering

[blindsided1]

Thanks Sug for the nice words. I try really hard to do the right things for K. I try hard to be good to her father even though he is a jerk most of the time. I just want her to grow up well adjusted and I pray, everyday, I pray that she doesn't find someone to love that is like her Dad. I would hate to watch her go through that. My Mom was/is a wonderful Mom. She has always been the voice of reason, always boosted out self-esteem, always told us we were beautiful, and smart and funny and good people. I grew up basically thinking I was invincible because of her. I appreciate her for that and everything she has done for my brother and I.

And, I am trying to prepare myself for the test "they" will throw my way. My H is a very competetive, bitter, vindictive "man" (for lack of a better noun). I can totally see him rubbing all the "Disneyland Dad" stuff he is going to do for her in an attempt to "out do" me. The thing is...go ahead. I can't be out-done because I'm there. Everyday. Rain or Shine. Sick or Healthy. Cranky or Happy. Laughing or Crying. I'm there for HER.
