So He's Taking It Well..

My dad was up visiting this past week. And he's now reading my blog--- hi dad! You may recall, back in February, the shot heard round' the world when my mom decided she wanted a divorce. Things are progressing, and although my dad wishes his marriage were still intact, he's slowly beginning to see that there's lots of life still out there to live. So he's been joking a lot about "Grandma Susie," a woman that he works with whom he thinks is 'foxy.' He's nowhere near serious about asking someone out at this point, since he still loves my mom, but still, it's good to know he's dealing.

Anyway, we were hanging out one night, talking about his regrets about the past and his hopes for the future. These past four months have been hard on all of us. So my dad suggested that once this is all over, we should all get together somewhere and raise a glass to the future.

"It'll be great," he said, "And we can bring Grandma Susie." I rolled my eyes. He continued. "But we'll have to wait until next year, when Grandma Susie turns 21."

Niiiice.
