I grew strong.....I learned how to carry on

That must mean a lot to you John. It would be interesting to hear their convos with their mom about you...

Yes it would be interesting....nobody is perfect of course (especially not me) but I doubt they have too much negative to say or they probably would not want to spend time with me.
Sure it means alot. It is nice to at least think that I had a little positive contribution in their young lives.

Giovanni..

Your stepdaughters' actions speak volumes. And what a loving comment. I get warm fuzzies reading it.

You're a good man, dad.

Quiet weekend with D9....saw NGF yesterday afternoon. Things are stable on that front. NGF is in love and ....... well .... I think that the past couple of years have affected me in a way that I refuse to accept. I have lost my innocence as Kalni would say...I think I may have lost the ability to give myself totally to someone else. NGF's positives far outweigh any negatives but....I have to admit there is something missing. I am not sure that she could do anything about that. It is more about me than her.

So anyways, I am minding my own business this morning and XW calls to "get some news"....she went to a wedding "show" with her oldest daughter (the one that came over for supper)....I guess they must have spoken about me and NGF. I asked her what her daughter had to say and she said that her daughter is really fond of me. Asked a few questions about NGF and then I listened to her talk about her business for a while. So, I guess that it is not only the LBS that has bouts of nostalgia...WASs also get the blues at times.

Thinking about getting a dog....hesitant becasue I live alone....I guess I could use my folks as dog sitters when I am not home but they are not keen about it.
Kerry will be happy about this, I am looking at the JIndo (Korean dog). Very rare in Canada...there is a korean lady who has one puppy left...a male...if I get it, I will call it Kerry.

LOL!! What an honor!!I am thinking of buying a French Bouldog to honor the french canadian friend I have...LOLOL

Hey John.

Ya' might try a cat. I've never been a cat person, and my kids convinced me to try it...it's one of the best things I've done. They truly are great house pets. They provide a calming, soothing effect to the household. And they keep me good company when I'm alone at the house. They sleep with me every night.

Stay strong.

Hey Antlers....not a big cat fan.....NGF wanted to give me a kitten. I can't do it. Maybe a goldfish or a bird.......

[antlers]

I was never a big cat fan either...NEVER! I'm just sayin'...

A Korean dog named Kerry? You are too funny. Please dont take it to North Korea.

Hey Giovanni..

Coming out of the divorce forced you to learn your bullshit meter, inner voice really do work.

If something isn't right, it isn't. If it's worth it, you examine it, work on it... together. And one thing you know is your boundaries.

Go whack a few balls. That always helps guys think.
