I am certainly not reading as I ought to be. I just recalled, as a note where you peddled pages in Yankeeland, now stands twice as tall, with stairs in the middle that move so slothen book browsers don't have to.
"Exception: The Hunger Games series. If you haven't read it, you need to. It is amazing."

She, bearer of the she who bore you; she's an adult, and by now she ought to know better. You have your stubborn streak, a S**t**r hand me down, but you do not start out contentious.
She on the other hand is habitually prone to... well as you've stated. Now don't kick yourself too much for her repeated choice of conduct.
I hope you never get THAT call, but I don't know why we are so committed to letting the quicksand have it's way.
"I will give my dad your message. I don't know that he'll understand...but I don't know that he won't. You know, if it weren't for you, I probably never would have met him...so thank you for that."
It was a concern of mine that you would live out your days with no concept of your father other then childhood flashes and impressions, and that when he was gone, so would that opportunity for you to know him. Besides, I couldn't seem to get across the idea to your mother that I was grateful for her part in "You". Not bashing her or trying to maliciously criticize her, but I felt at times that there was a bit of lingering poison, bitterness and cold spite from your mother, that tainted your concept of your father. If he turned out to be a jerk, then you would know that for yourself, and his loss, but since he's not, despite his rough edges, our collective gain.
I can remember him being so elated in knowing that you're out there and in the prospect of meeting you.
Your dad is a trip, and I'm sure he's in there somewhere
'She, and you -- and many others -- have so much talent and spirit that seems to go to waste in this ridiculously modern world. All one can do is try.'
Thank you for the complement. SJSE.
I'm glad you didn't bail out.
so am I
Maybe her pastor is on to something. Maybe she isn't ready...I obviously can only make so many assumptions based on photographs alone, but she looks young.
she's three your jr. not that that was a focus. But who knows how this will turn out.
She could just be scared...or she could be a lesbian (I kid, I kid!).
Scared, probably yes...
At the end of the day, though, what is it YOU want? Do you want to try again with her, or cut your losses and move on?
Well, I want to be happy, and so often when I am happy, I find myself thinking of her. So... If I wanted to cut my loses, at this point I think I would just do it and move on. There's opportunities, but I don't act on them.
I want to know from her perspective what she really wants, so that if she's certainly against, that I will know and not linger but pick myself up and ramble on down the road.
