At first, the idea didn't bother me. Then, on the drive over, I started thinking about the last person he had been with. Cindi. For those of you who don't know (probably most) I loved the crap out of that woman. She quickly became someone I felt comfortable talking to and trusted. They were together for 3 years I think and then some things happened, they broke up, got together, broke up etc. Anyway, they finally ended up just breaking up.
She didn't return my phone calls or messages or anything. I was beyond hurt. I understood that things were done with my Dad, but my friend was ignoring me. So, I think it's safe to say that I got my heart broken by a woman.
I digress....On my way to dinner tonight, I had a mini panic attack. I'm so tired of seeing my Dad get hurt and with meeting this new person, there is a chance that that might happen again. (So Gael, if you're reading this, don't hurt my Dad. Because then I'll be forced to hate you.) But we got there and we all met her and she seemed perfectly nice. She was friendly to everyone, made conversation and Jordan gave her a hug at the end of the deal. So, I guess that's good. He's generally a pretty good judge of character.
After dinner was over, I felt incredibly lonely. Here's a day that's dedicated to Dads. Dads are usually part of a pair and I'm not in a pair. So, on days like today, I feel a little bit more sad. I don't hate being single, because there are PLENTY of perks, but I do miss having someone to hug and kiss me and tell me that I'm doing a good job too. Blah.
All in all, it was a good Father's Day. I feel like I get to celebrate it too since I play both parts :) And for any other single Mommies that have to do it alone, we should all get Superhero shirts. It's hard work!!!
