Last fall, I gave up my car for a bus pass. I try to read a book a week on the bus but mostly I just avoid eye contact with other passengers.

Daddy's Girl

When I came back from lunch this afternoon, this email was waiting for me. Ah, yes, the BF's name is Chris.

Subject: none

How's things? Just caught up on your blog. In the past you said (maybe I misunderstood) you wanted a book of a never ending story? One you could reread over and over. You do. It's called life, you are writing it every day. Yes even if it's not what we wanted or how we planned it. We adjust, make of it what we can. I'm glad you picked Chris to be your husband. Talk to you soon.
Love Ya!
Dad

This email totally made my week. Reading and really thinking about Impostor's Daughter has made me feel all kinds of oddball. But little notes like this...well, leave me speechless. I'm very much looking forward to the stroll my pops and I will be taking down the aisle toward the BF.

Awesome father! Also, love your header: Last fall, I gave up my car for a bus pass. I try to read a book a week on the bus but mostly I just avoid eye contact with other passengers.


Made me laugh.
