Overlooked Orchid

Time seems to keep slipping away from me…I’m having trouble getting all my work done, let alone time for personal entries.

Things are going pretty well I suppose. We’ve been kept busy with errands here and there…School is going well.

Things with the girl’s father aren’t going so well….can’t say that it’s unexpected, but I did have hopes, and I know the girls had hopes as well. For the first couple of weeks all was well, but than he stopped calling the girls, and when the girls called, he never answered the phone, or called them back, after they left a message. And so…the girls have pretty much lost interest in calling. 4th of July we went up to a big family gathering of that side of the family. The girls’ father showed up, but didn’t stay long…didn’t do anything with the girls, and left without saying goodbye…I was very disappointed, and so were the girls. Such is life though…He was always a father of convience, and it never seemed to be convienent. It is sad to say, and sadder still to know that hasn’t changed.

However the girls and I are a team, and stick together, good times and bad, so I have no doubts that they will come through the disappointment of their father’s lack of interest with flying colors. I have raised strong girls, a strong family…and that’s exactly what the three of us are…a family.
