Playing board games
Nina, Alonso's daughter, the man who has give me reasons to believe again in love among other things, invited us to go her house for dinner and to play board games. I am happy we went. She made a very tasty meal, pork chops with mushrooms. Nina simply amazes me, she lives in a farm by herself, works her butt off with the horses and has incredibly nice friends. She has done so much to make me feel welcome, it is very touching. We had a great time.
Having said that, I still miss my daughter. She did not wanted to come, and since she still is a little cold with me I didn't want to press the issue. But I picture her, by herself and not wanting to go out. She could have had so much fun. I will continue inviting her. She says she has plans for the upcoming weekend. I think is hard for me because we were so close. Her father wasn't around most of the time, so it was her and me. Now is like at times, she doesn't want me around. She was pretty nice sometimes. I miss hugging her and I miss scaring the hell out of her when she will be coming home after school plugged in with her headphones and her ipod. She used to jump really high. We laugh on the floor many times. We didn't had much. But we had each other and I miss that. I miss her terribly. I don't think she misses me. And yet I wish she did.

I was tickled to read that you had such a good time with Alonso\'s daughter -- and another horsewoman, to boot! We ARE amazing women, we horsewomen.
As far as your daughter is concerned, he is acting a bit jealous (as I see it) and I applaud your efforts to continue to reach out to her. She will come around with time. Just don\'t let her attitude stand in YOUR way of doing what is good for you! Be patient but be firm.
Keep doing what you are doing and your New Life will keep getting better and better!
Thanks Kathi you are so right horsewoman are amazing!!!!
azuca, I too, feel like Kathi...it\'s the jealous thing. I remember when I started dating and the two guys had daughters around her age and they wanted me to do their hair. What helped is when one of them asked my DAUGHTER to do her hair! They went upstairs at our church in the bathroom where my daughter used her hair straightener to do that gal\'s hair. She didn\'t like it when she\'d see one of the girls at our house sitting in front of me with me trimming or putting their hair up in french braids the way I did hers. She also wasn\'t accustomed to me showing a man affection because she didn\'t see me show her dad affection. She didn\'t mind her dad dating, but ddn\'t like it when I did. Now, she WANTS me married! My, how things change!
I\'m glad you\'re enjoying life because, Girl, you deserve it!
