I can see that the month that it took to get approved for another visit with lovelygirl had a negative affect on our relationship. Not terrible, but we slipped further back...closer to the beginning.
The one in December was 14 days long, and we forged a tiny bond. We had another visit in January, over a weekend, and that one was great too.
Then we had a whole month go by until this visit. And we only had her for one full day and two half days. Travel time in the car is great for conversations...IF a certain little girl could remain awake.
I have to take what I can get, and do the best that I can in the short time we have together.
But I feel like we took several steps backwards.
I wonder if she really believes that she WILL be moving here. She gave up asking. I don't have any answers for that. I am frustrated. And I am the Adult.
One step forward, two steps back.
