153 Days to go...

OK, today was a LOT better than yesterday. It's always the firsts that get you...first birthday, first anniversary, first Christmas, that kind of stuff. After the first year, it tends to fade. I know this from personal experience. And I know, thank GOD, that time heals all wounds.

So, on with life!

I heard from my youngest yesterday, she still can't receive mail, apparently, because I still don't have a return address, but she seems to be doing well, apart from the feeling of being alone that she can't seem to shake. I think it's being away...truly away...from everyone and everything you know for the first time. I remember feeling like that when I went to Boston a few years back, my first trip to a strange place totally by myself. I'm sure she'll work herself out of it, after all...she is her father's child!

Speaking of which, Sunday is Father's day....a first for me on three levels. First, it will be one of those firsts I was talking about earlier. Second, it will be the first year I've had my present father-in-law, so I still get to honor a father. And last, but certainly not least, it will be the first time in many, many years, my husband gets to celebrate...as a father. And celebrate, we will!!!
