Shout Out

I'd love to give a shout out to my dad. He is flawed, human - like me, and some of his flaws are some of my flaws - but sometimes he can really be an anchor amidst chaos. I had a little talk with him about the thing with my sister, and it helped. He had no idea that we haven't been talking. I told him how it wasn't an enmity, but that I just felt awkward and couldn't play like nothing happened, like my feelings weren't hurt. He asked me if I told her that my feelings were hurt. Duh, dummy me didn't do that. But I think she got the hint. Maybe not? Anyway, Daddy's going to talk to her a little. And he encouraged me to just call and say something. "Don't grow apart." He is so right. Thanks, Daddy.
