Yesterday’s Horrible Ghost

[newlifeinstpaul]

While at Valleyfair, I was haunted by the memories of a six-year old LP. Or was she seven…?

The limitations of my park visits with Baby Midgets (no big coasters, only things her sister could do) drove her crazy. But one Saturday, I took LP and LP only. Riding every big ride to her heart’s content . I forced her to ride Power Tower (which I never do) so she could watch the fireworks show at eye level, with laser lights at her feet. And on the way home? Perkins pancakes, with all the syrups. “This is the best day of My LIFE!” Yah, she said that.

Which Reminded me that all I’ve ever tried to do with Those in My Life is make their days magical. All they had to do was Be My Kids. Too much to ask.

Time to find Better People, I guess

You are such an amazing father! As a girl who grew up fatherless, your daughters have NO idea what they have lost.
