Hi Lana
Yes us LBS are in a better place. As for the MLC . I’m not sure any of them can be truly happy. We don’t hear much from them sadly.

So D17 started college. A semester late but she’s in. So excited for her. We did a few trial runs on the bus and subway to town. She never went into the city alone. She did great as I stood way back. The next 2 times she went solo like a preadult.

She texted me that first day alone.

“Dad, I feel so grown up. “

“Well you are D17. My baby has grown up. I’m so proud.xx”

Then a “thanks Dad, for being there for me through all this. Love you”

Let’s just say that made my year 2018.

I’ve been working too much and some out of town trips . Most of which is this week. So glad my parents are there for Support. Girls are doing great . I drove 6 hours there and back to sleep one night at home yesterday. Just to touch base and make sure they had what they needed. All good and movie night with them.

Also a funny thing happened yesterday. It was XW’s birthday. Girls didn’t mention it. And I only realized it because it’s also my brothers birthday. So it actually went unnoticed.

One thing I’m glad of . XW didn’t send them any messages like the last 2 years .
The ones where she says they need to respect her. She’s entitled to a happy birthday because she is afterall their mom.

I’m back home this Sunday with no travels for a few weeks. Miss my girls

Hope you are all good . Thinking of you all. Xox
