45 @5:02pm EST and Wardrobe Wednesday

Not just older, better. At least according to the beautiful email from the Lizard King. He rocks my world.

This week for your viewing pleasure, I present Princess in the first sweater I've ever knitted to completion.

It should fit her for quite a while! Of course it's pink! What do you expect?!

At 10:53am today, Princess turned 6! I can hardly believe that 6 years have gone by and that this very grown up little girl is sitting right in front of me. She is such a beautiful combination of the Lizard King and me. We are truly blessed to have such a special person as our daughter. We learn more and more from her each and every day. She has changed our lives more than we could ever imagine.

This is the first (and only) birthday that LK has missed. This is a hard time for all of us. He and I were just emailing about Princess' birth day and LK said that it was a great day. I responded that it was life changing. (Well, duh!) LK then said, "I sometimes wonder where we would be had she not come along. Not just physically, but emotionally. She definitely did complete the family." I responded, "She certainly did... Life would be so very different without her. I truly believe that we would still be together and happy and in love, but we would not have grown into the people we are now had she not come into our lives."

Happy Birthday, Princess! Daddy and I love you more than we could even begin to say.

Happy Birthday, Dad

I figured I'd say it here since I can't say it to him. We haven't talked to each other since the Disney World trip. There has been no communication at all since our back and forth email discussion ended February 25th. For those who don't remember, my father broke up with me back in February.

Well, today is his birthday and I can't call him, but I did send cards. It's just weird. I thought I would miss him more than I do, but it actually feels good. I'm not being judged on a regular basis and I get no guilt trips that he claims aren't guilt trips. There is so much more, but I fear I would bore you all with the messy details.

I guess all I really wanted to do was send a birthday wish out to the universe. Maybe one day my father will realize the importance of family and that relationships take work on both sides.
