There's the question of the day. Yesterday, we went out to an amusement park with the kids. I stayed upbeat and had alot of fun. She, on the other hand, almost seemed to struggle with having fun. I don't think she cracked a smile once when she was playing with the kids.
Time to jot down some ideas.
After I took her back to her sister's I called her and asked her why she wanted to do the Father's Day outing. She told me that it was for the girls and I responded that since I had the girls that day anyway I would be fine with going out with them alone.
I told her that I don't want her to feel "obligated" that she had to do this and that I certainly didn't want her to do something she didn't want to do or feel like she "had" to do.
I told her that especially after everything that had happened between the two of us, I had enough self-respect for myself that I didn't need to go with someone who didn't like me or want to be with me. Then I asked if she understood my point.
She said she did.
I thanked her for spending the day with us and wished her a good night. And she did the same.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
