First things first, Happy Father's Day to all the awesome Dad's on the boards.

I think I had the best Father's Day of my life today. Started with church and then picked up my son from my W, very uneventful and somewhat cold from her, WHATEVER!!!

Got home and my D13 was busy cleaning the house vaccuumed cleaned kitchen, made my bed and was working hard when I came hom. Got a very heartfelt handmade and handwritten card from her. No gift could compare, EVER!!!!

Talked to D13 a little bit about mom, I mentioned compassion for her and that she may not realize what she is doing. Later while we were riding bikes I mentioned that the best Father's Day gift would be if she texted her mom (they have not spoken since Jan 3). My D13 invited my W over for dinner tonight and she accepted.

Awesome dinner for my family, all of us at the table together for the first time in over 6 months, Praise GOD!!! I fixed the meal, it was perfect!!! My W was impressed. D13 openned up more and more to my W as the night wore on.

My D13 is going to the movies with S9 and my W on Tuesday night!!!! I never expected this much progress in one evening, I knew that my D13 only wanted a big hug from her mommy but was too proud to admit it. Time for me to let go and let their relationship rebuild.

Biggie for me...as my W was leaving tonight she came up to me and hugged me!!!! It has been a long time since she initiated. She then hugged our D13, I thought I was going to cry tears of joy but kept it together. I walked my W out to her car and bid her farewell, nothing else happened except big smiles.

This is a big positive step but need to keep my expectations low. What a great day!!!!!
