I know it has been a day since I wrote. Been VERY busy with work stuff.
Today we are going over my older sister’s house. I called her to see if Anastasia and I could come over earlier so her kids and my daughter could play. They haven’t seen each other in about 2 weeks, so I thought that would be cool.
She said that was fine to come over early and she needed to talk to me about something. She wouldn’t say what, although she said it had something to with Anastasia. Hmmm… She said she didn’t want to tell me over the phone and she said it would be much better if we talked in person.
I know my older sister. I consider her my second mother. She is just like my mom in many ways. So when she brings something like this up and she is very hush hush about it, I know it’s serious.
Guess I am leaving earlier to go find out what’s up. :\
To be continued…
EDIT: 28 Sept 2008
As a single father raising my daughter there are plenty of things Anastasia will go through that I will NEVER understand. My hopes and dreams have always been I would be with a woman that cares about her enough to talk to her about all things ‘girl’ by the time she gets there.
Anastasia’s 10 and a half and I’m still single, still raising her by myself. So this weekend’s issue, which I will not go into detail about, was more a ’she’s growing up and changing’ type issue.
I realize I am getting to that point where I have to rely on what I have taught her to this point and hope and pray it is enough to get her through. I will become more a coach than a ‘parent’. It is so hard to realize my little girl is becoming a woman and there is NOTHING I can do about it.
And NO amount of punishment will stop the process.
<sigh>
