Well, W has gone out with the b!tch tonight. We celebrated Chinese New Year in a family way and then she went out to fool around. What a friggin joke! Anyway, it was a tough day for D9 and she once again showed me how to DB properly. Her gymnastics meet was a disaster, she did the worst I have ever seen. Yet, despite knowing this, she hung in and did her best because she wouldn't let her team down. In the parking lot she broke into tears and we consoled her. We talked on the way home and I told her about my driving test years ago where I passed by one point! I messed up incredibly and actually hit a curb on a turn. W laughed and pointed out "and look he's still driving!". D came home went to her room for 10 minutes, came down, I asked her to help mom make lunch and just like that she was singing happily in the kitchen. The rest of her day was as happy as any other. She LET GO! That's the lesson. She felt the pain and then let it go thereby allowing joy to enter back into her life. How hard is it to do if a 9 year old can master it yet a 48 year old still can't? Later in the day she joined in making fun of the experience. When she went to bed I told her I loved her and was proud of her. I said that the next Meet will be better because she has the heart of a winner. She hugged me and thanked me. I left her with a smile on her face. That's my girl! My DB role model. She has a lot to teach me.
