Speaking of my dad
Nov 23, 2005 Family
You can see, with stories like this (from my archives two years ago) why maybe I wouldn’t have had the wherewithall to forge a close relationship to my little sisters. So if you’re starting a new family and want your old family to find a way to be a part of it, consider that a cautionary tale.

Dawn, rerereading this post–because I was here when you originally put it up–made me realize how long I’ve been reading your blog. And it didn’t take this post to make me realize how much your blog means to me, but I wanted to let you know. You are an excellent writer and an inspiring mother, and I love hearing about your life.

Oh, that story made me cry.
I’m glad you’ve been able to make peace with your father, but boy do I get why your mom still sees red!
