NDY,
The concert was incredible. Unfortunately, I can tell no true stories of crowdsurfing.

The last two days have been pretty normal. On Tuesday, STBX attempted to FaceTime while I was driving down to the concert but I didn't answer. Yesterday, STBX texted me a pic of D4 at summer camp and then called me a few hours later. I didn't respond or answer either one. I did FaceTime with the kids last night. I was supposed to have the kids last night but STBX got called off from work so she offered to have them another night. Catch 22, I will take another night to myself but I really miss the kids dearly. Nonetheless, it was fantastic to see and talk with them. The interaction with STBX was cordial but brief.

I'm doing well. Every now and then, something will trigger an emotion but as time passes, I think I'm just getting more comfortable with the inevitable reality. Yesterday, I cruised from work early to work "remotely" and I just laid out on the patio for a bit. I also started preparing and taking notes for my next discussion group meeting on Saturday night. Not a whole lot I can do other than focus on my own happiness and remaining a dedicated father.

Speaking of fatherhood, until yesterday, I forgot that Father's Day is this Sunday. I'm not sure what my personal plans are but I have heard STBX and D4 allude to a gift so they might have something planned. I will have the kids later on Sunday so I think I should find something fun to do with them, maybe go to a friend's house or check out that indoor playground again. Not sure.

Any ideas or suggestions for Father's Day? I imagine I should just go along with whatever STBX and D4 have planned for me, right?
