HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

SBJ, cheers to you. and yes 2018 will be much better for us all. as we are looking forward. Living our lives the best we can.

Vapo. I am so happy to have you all in my corner as I am in yours.

Job, yes she has their cell phones and emails. They are on instagram and facebook., so easy to message there as its open to receive messages. She is definitely missing out.

Bttrfly, Yes the flu.. I know .. I`m sure if it wasnt that there would be another excuse for not reaching out to her own daughters.`Maybe a zombie apocalypse or something.. flu is right up there.

Gordie, you are welcome . You are on the good path too. keep your head up and Gordie 2018 is doing it right.

RD, I will continue. it`s in my DNA. love being dad.. love being a family guy.


So no news from XW... I guess she must be glad its all over.. the holidays. As for us, we had an amazing Xmas and New years.

D17 starts college this month and D15 is back to grade 10 next week. All good. As for me, Work will be busy this January.

Facebook this morning gave me a pop up. What happened on this day 3 years ago. We were all on a mexico trip. XW was with us. I had deleted her and her photos from that memory soon after BD so nothing about her showed up. Only the vacations and me and the girls.

D17 comes up stairs for breakfast today.. she says
Dad, did you see the facebook memory?

yes,great time. Loved looking at the pics again. You girls grew so much. All good?

yes , great actually. I't made me think of what mom said just before she left, about our family.

Her mom said this as she walked out the door. Sorry girls to ruin your family. That we we will no longer have the great trips and vacations.. no family outings or the last minute get-aways . Sorry girls to ruin your perfect family. But I need to think of me know. It's my time.

You know dad she was wrong.. we still had them. She just missed out.Her loss.

she gave me a hug and I made her the best breakfast .

D15, she came up after..she likes to sleep in.lol
She made no fuss about the post and simply asked.. when do I start school again? Told her the 8th and she thanked god it wasn't tomorrow then hit Netflix.

I'm very lucky with my 2 girls. It goes back to what I said the other day... family doesn't die when one pulls out..things don;t stop or end. Happiness, love and good times continue, it's what you want family to be..

hope 2018 we all are happy with our families and loved ones. Everything else is just lost time.
