I'm glad you brought up marriage because it is so easy to take our spouses for granted. Particularly if we have a job or kids (stuff that cannot be ignored for long) we end up putting spouses further down on the priority list. They definitely need QT too... which is how I ended up roasting marshmallows in the woods! I'm so glad you and your daddy are getting to have some bonding time. I remember when my mom first died, my siblings and I barely knew my dad (he was working, she was home with us). In the years after the accident we grew to really know and love him and finally had really strong bonds with him. Time is a precious, precious thing. Hi, there… my Happy Lotus!

Even as an adult, I was just complaining to my dad that I wanted to spend more time talking to him than doing things. If I had told him that years ago, he would not have understood but after losing my mom, he has been more aware of the importance of time. I think all relationships require quality time. A marriage needs that in order to stay connected and with kids, it is even more necessary. You have a lot of love to give, Lisis, so I have not doubt that you will give Hunter what he needs and yet pursue your goals. :) <abbr><em>Nadia-HappyLotus's latest post... <a href="http://happylotus.com/2009/05/01/defending-your-life/" rel="nofollow">Defending Your Life</a></abbr></em> Good for you for realizing what was happening with Hunter.
