Dad

I just recently reunited with my dad. My parents were divorced when I was very young and I lived with my mom until she died. Never met my dad, but I knew his name. We wrote each other letters after I found his address when I was in middle school. When I was 18, he came to Wabash (he only lives in Fort Wayne). We met for the 1st time (in my memory at least). It was nice. We went out to Bob Evans and talked a little, but made no other plans to get together. He stopped writing for several years, but I kept writing and sending cards. Finally, he wrote me back, then he'd stop writing again. It always broke my heart a little when he did that. Anyway, he called a couple months ago and we made plans to meet again. Almost 7 years later. We've been in contact ever since. It's weird having a relationship with my Dad. I'm still kind of uncomfortable around him. I'm not sure how to act or what to say. I don't want to scare him off again. He gets along really well with my husband, which is great. It's nice that he can have a father-in-law. I only hope they can grow to be as close as I am to my father-in-law.

I got lucky in thein-law department. I have wonderful in-laws. Love every one of them. They can be a little goofy, but hey, who isn't. I just got off work after working 2 jobs today. I am exhausted. And hot. I think I'm going to go do dishes then take a cold shower. I hate dishes!!!!
