 You and Katie are so blessed. God gave you Mary for a reason! Please know you are in my thoughts often.

 I've often said the lessons I needed to learn in life I could have only learned by having my daughter - and one of those was forgiving my parents - partly by understanding them better. Parenting - the hardest job you'll ever love. xoxo
Always tell the truth
Use kind words
Keep your promises
Giggle and laugh
Be positive
Love one another
Always be grateful
Forgiveness is mandatory
Try new things
Say please and thank you
Say your prayers
Smile

 hi ganien, I don't know if you remember me, but I was on here about three years ago with the username ekru04; I lived in NJ at that time. I read your blog faithfully then, and you read mine. I just signed back up for Affairlook and wondered how you were doing...I'm so happy to read this entry, to see you and katie got married and, even more wonderful, you've had a daughter! congratulations, and I wish you and your family many blessings in the years to come!

I can't tell you how priceless being a father is, and I really never expected such instant overflowing infinite love for Mary. Taking care of her is extraordinarily hard, with the nasogastric tube and the exactness of her feedings from a syringe and sometimes I am overwhelmed. But then when the feeding is done and the diapers are changed and we get skin-on-skin time and she just stares at me with her blue eyes... oh how no trouble in the world matters anymore.

Thank you my dear Red. I am so fortunate to have such loving support from my blog readers. I wish I weren't so overwhelmed and could log in more often. I am sorry. I always mean to.

But some good news... I now have a tablet so I can mess around online from just about anywhere, I'm hoping the lure of new technology inspires me to get back into the regular blogging!

You are so right about the hardest job you'll ever love. It is at my limit of hard and worrisome though, I don't think I can take much more bad news. But we manage.

I've long since forgiven my Dad for being an ass when I was a kid... but there are still consequences for him in my psychology, that he needs to overcome. But our years of separation and not seeing each other all the time, have made our relationship so much better.

I have so many dreams of being a wonderful father.

Awww thank you so much! I don't look forward to being that frustrated with Mary, she is so perfect and beautiful and innocent.

Thanks for the hugs... I sure can use some physical contact right now.

Oh. My. Gosh.

I have often wondered about you and I have missed you. But I always had such hope that you were doing well and enjoying life. Many people leave Affairlook when they've found The One their heart desires.

So yes... we got married! Katie is beyond wonderful and I love her more and more every day. It isn't easy going especially with my polyamory, there have been rough patches along the way and I have learned that communication is so very important.

I have changed and grown so much since I last communicated with you, but I think my optimism and zest for life and deep love of people are still intact.

Thanks for your blessings!
