Gordie 21 going with my gut

[Rita]

I often wish that the kids would be very clear about not wanting to talk to H. They share privately with me all that stuff but rarely show him. It makes it harder for him to see clearly what he is doing to them. So in a way you are lucky with that too.

I am so happy she said ILY again and said yes to the party. Awkward was good, exciting, full of anticipation when you first met and everything was new. Let it be that way now.

To me it does not seem like inching. It is a matter of months and so much keeps happening. To me it is a flood.

In honor of those who don't get your posting style, I will post a haiku about floods (real ones and yours) for you --

After the floods
a new song
for the river.

Gordie is the best.
