Hey scoobs. Can't recall if I've posted to you before, but I've been keeping up with your situation. I agree with Job on the birthday feast. As bad as the situation is for us LBS's, the kids are the really losers in this game. Its hard for the kiddos to completely understand whats going on with us and our spouses. I would worry that if you didn't show that your daughter might somehow blame herself for you not coming. Like Job said, you don't have to stay long, but you should go for her sake...even if you will see her in the morning. I am sure it would be very special for her to have both parents at her party if its possible.
Good luck, brother...none of this is easy, but we'll make it through stronger on the other side.
