A difficult one. Neith has been asking about her birth parents and if I was somehow her birthfather the entire time, and had to prove it to the government because we were in different places when she was born, or was separated from her before then. She understands now that I became her father later on, but still wondered a few things:
1. What happened to her birth parents before I met her?
2. Why she doesn’t have a mother or an extra father now?
3. Can we make her Auntie Cassie her mother?
…So many questions! She reminds me very much of Khemu, who would have loved a sister, and I like to think that Ay… That AMUNET would be laughing if she were here. And to wonder for myself if there would ever be a way for us to find our way again, or barring that, for me to love another someday.
This is an…interesting age.
