My dad and I are better. We are much better at saying "screw it, I love you, let's not fight" now.
I don't know if it was coincidence or intuition, but out of nowhere we are on the way home from swim and the gym and she blurts out "I miss NG's daughter!" she expressed some feelings as she really wants to play with her again, is sad she wasn't invited to her birthday party, and she knows I love NG and we should have made it work. Breaks my heart. I assured her that I told NG that we wished his daughter a very happy birthday and that I am sure she wanted to invite you to her party, but given our situation she couldn't. She began to ask a lot of questions about me and NG and our R. We got out of the car, and she picked up one of those weeds you blow on and make a wish, and I could just tell what she was wishing for.
Dating with young kids is no joke. You have to be really careful.
