Thanks for the support, PiGA. Today was a weird day. This award was pretty big, and it's the kind of thing H would have been there for. It was a little sad looking at all the other award recipients with both of their parents. I felt somewhat better when my daughter took my hand and said it's us against the world, mom. I adore her!!
You're right about him realizing what he's missing someday. I have firsthand experience with that. I haye some issues with my father (as an adult), and I ended up having my step-father walk me down the aisle when I got married. I felt he deserved it more. The father-daughter relationship is very precarious. You would think my H would know that.
