26. Did You Think I Would Not Remember You Too?
One of those hearts came from...Oh I don't know.....

The girl is fine and lovely and growing up so fast. This single parent thing is kicking my ass though. Jaysus Gawd it is ALL down to me and working full time, trying to get the homework done, keeping the house together, (and I am fanatic about NO clutter, that shit makes me crazy) and trying to get to her basketball games, Jaysus please help me. She is a fucking phenomenal point guard BTW. Because she is so tall they wanted to make her the center, but she is shit fast and has the eye hand coordination of a Goddess. So they made her point.

Her nickname on the team is Gary, after Gary Payton. Rock on Peyton, but she is wearing me out. BTW I turned 50 today.

28. Haiku for Two
We share the moment
Basking in our embraces
Love is divine


You put up with me?
On second thought, I also
Tolerate you too!

Deep waters move slow,
but then they reach the shore line
