Thank you. I did disable comments on purpose, but I welcome your thoughts -- especially since we haven't spoken in so long. How are you?
I kept wanting to post an update this week that would read something like, "Nevermind. All is well." But I couldn't because it wasn't. We had a good night at dinner last night, though, when my daughter went off on a tangent about her favorite band, My Chemical Romance, and started smiling, getting excited, and talking to us -- husband and I -- as if we were her teen friends. She went on and on about Frankie and Gerard and Mikey and ... I'm not sure who else.
I thanked goodness yet again for fandom because the bandslash writers post about these guys all the time. While I didn't know details, at least I had an inkling of who they were and could ask questions that didn't send her sulking back into her own head. Last night I felt like I saw my daughter for the first time in forever. I've missed her.
