I had to start a new thread because Part 3 reached 100.

Received an email this morning from H:

Good Morning,

I have a dilemma I hope you can help me with.

I have D this weekend. Friend's 'Celebration of Life' ceremony is this Saturday at 3pm. I would greatly like to attend to pay my respects. I have no idea how long it will go, but even if it goes into the night, I will leave well before that. Is there any way you can take her so I can go? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking we could all go eat lunch around 12 ish, and then head back to your place where I could leave in time to get there.

Thanks for considering.

H

P.S.: I'm having a real hard time dealing with D's 7th birthday tomorrow.


I replied back with:

No problem with me watching D on Saturday. But if you can pick her up before 6:30 I would appreciate it. I have plans. Lunch sounds great as well.



A little background on the P.S. part: H had a D with his gf at the time 7 years ago. And she past away when she was 2 months of heart problems. She would have been 7 yrs old tomorrow and it is really hitting him hard.

But here is my thing. You would think since he lost one daughter, how can he stand to be a part-time Dad to his one only living D. I am not the only one puzzled by this. I asked him this and he hit the roof.
