Visiting Family
No, Sleep, till Bozeman! Almost there. My Daughter will call to check on my whereabouts, because my grand daughters nap time was close at hand. She kept them up so I could see them when I got there. I think we all wanted a nap. but with the sun up and in the rear view, I race to see them. I was greeted by two short adorable girls, who’s eyes stared in wonder as I approached the sliding door. Not sure who I was, they stayed close to there mother. They slowly changed their tune after I hugged my child. They started bringing me toys. I felt so blessed to be with them. However, I feel that way about all my children. I didn’t raise my children, not by choice either. My older daughter, doesn’t see me as her father. I understand that. The man I call Dad, was not my biological father either. But He is My Dad. My daughters have that same experience. however, I wanted to be in their lives. Every time the military gave me a three day weekend, I drove from Colorado to California to see them. I did get tired of my ex calling the law when I visited. The Ex will get pregnant, remarry and move to Montana. I confess, I was happy that they Moved from LA. Now that they are adults I don’t have to go through the red tape to see my kids and grand daughters. Now that’s not entirely true. My oldest daughters was coming to visit her sisters and I hoped to see her. I haven’t seen her in years. But she didn’t want to see me. So I will leave prior to her arrival. I just want her to be happy, and if not seeing me makes her happy, I’ve succeeded. I still get to see pictures of her. My youngest daughter has moved back with her mom for the time being. She works nights and I got to visit her after work early in the morning. I feel this child has missed knowing me more than the others, being the youngest and all. I didn’t get to spend as much time with her as I would have liked. In the Excitement of visiting my family, I chose not to go to Lolo, Mt. but instead spend that time with the Girls.
