I asked my 10 year old D what she wants for Christmas...she said " I want Christmas altogether as a family and you and mommy together." I just hugged her. Could not get words out. WE go for the tree on Sunday, first time ever without us together and we do it with my brotheer and his fammily. My wife started this tradition with them 19 years ago. She and my brothers wife were such close friends. They are not too happy with her over the custody battle. They know I have been a daddy that has been there above and beyond. Same with our friends. 14 year old wants the nonsense to end but she is quiet and says to me she is upset Christmas will be apart. Won't express to her mother.
