Long lost relatives are coming out of the woodwork. <br /><br />@ Yvonne- I DID freak out the first night. I zoned out on Glee for the remainder of the hour and snapped at anyone that wanted to talk to me. Then, I went into my room and panicked. Just a little.<br /><br />@ Jessica- eventually I think I will meet him. He's living clear across the country though so it might be hard to set that up.<br /><br />@ whisper- I'm definately taking a risk. That's why I freaked out at first. Now that I have decided though whatever happens, happens.<br /><br />@ Tami- I think that's what the difference is between me now and when I was a teenager. Teens rarely think rationaly and I'm so glad he found me now instead of then. Back then I may have been looking to lay blame. And thanks! I think so, but I'm biased.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958530958484080973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224158042970904385.post-10245620800491193582010-06-16T07:59:07.441-07:002010-06-16T07:59:07.441-07:00Marjorie-I am so happy for you!

I hope this delicate new relationship is a wonderful, enriching one. I also admire that you hold no blame--I think there are a lot of people who might not be able to step back from it and look at everyone so objectively, but I think you are right--we all do our best, and sometimes the best of a lot of crummy options is just crummy.<br /><br />(your little guy is SO CUTE!)Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224158042970904385.post-13179386442272237492010-06-16T04:38:21.634-07:002010-06-16T04:38:21.634-07:00i like the new layout better.

It sounds like you are at the right place with regards to your father, though; acknowledging that there are several stories in the fact that he has been missing from your life, and being willing to listen to them. <br /><br />Also, the new layout and the pictures of your soon looks great :)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.com
