The past couple of weeks have been such a roller coaster ride of emotion. Yesterday just hurt. It hurt bad. Today started out the same. If not worse.
I wanted to do something with my daughter for father's day, but wanted her to have fun too. I tripped across an ad for a very nice arcade I've been to before. They were having a father's day special. That was it! Exactly the thing to lift my mood and something she'd likely really enjoy.
She got in the car with stories to tell about the leadership camp she'd attended last week. We talked the entire 30 minute drive to the arcade. I played a few games, but mostly followed her around watching her play, playing with her on the two player games. When she'd had enough we headed off for pizza where she spent much of the time trying to annoy me by stepping on my feet under the table and trying to put bits of straw wrapper in my water glass. Annoying? No! These little bids for connection made my heart soar. Gave me hope that despite being apart for stretches of time, that we're going to be okay.
Thanks again for the support. It's truly appreciated.
