Half-Pint

Driving to work today I saw a little girl, you know the one, yellow dress..knee high white socks, skipping down the sidewalk with mom close behind. I couldn't help think it but I wonder what the world will be like for you? I wonder if you will have the same luxaries I have now...will it be more difficult? What can I do to help, how can I make sure that you know all the oppertunities that are out there for you as a woman in training?! Have I done enough? Did I pave a way for you? Or did I quietly go on my way each day..thinking to myself.. well someone else might do it?!

How can a person say I love you or you are always welcome here...yet because there are two of you the emphasis is on YOU. Meaning that person, that special person in your life is not welcome. Here is to 5 years of trying to be the good daughter, trying to be the good partner being torn in two every time my two worlds come together. Everyone says give them time, how much longer do they need??

So I will attempt to sort out my own world, keep my relationship with my partner a priority and figure our lives out together. I am sure I will mention parents from time to time...parents that were anything but supportive and how you mend that road if you can. I saw her for a little while this morning as she got up for work and now we live such separate lives trying to set priorities, while just getting by hopefully we can figure this out before we die!
