So, Father's Day isn't great for those of us with sucky fathers but I do want to point out that Cosette's Dad, Mr. Jean Valjean is a pretty damn amazing example of a dad, even to those of us who aren't his kids. He's opened his home up to a lot of crazy kids who needed somewhere safe to stay, offered us support and advice, and generally been a really awesome example of a father. My future dad in law is also amazing, and supportive, along with way he and future mom in law have opened up their house to me, let me hang out, babysat my cat, and generally approved of the illicit things I get up to with their son.
I guess...I'm luckier than I let myself think sometimes, even when I'm feeling kind of shitty about stuff. So, there's that, I guess, and two good examples out there. It's hard not to be bitter and angry but then I think about them and I...feel better I guess? Comforted. Something like that, I think.
And I know that when I'm ready, I'm going to be good with kids cause I now know what NOT to do and have had some good examples here.
It...helps make today work, I guess?
Also, "Cherie" had left a present on my pillow when I got home, which I found out this morning was a really crazy tie, so whichever of you wants to take credit for helping her pick that out...uh, thanks, you freaks, and I love you?
