Dear Abby: Salute to dad shared by all on Father’s Day

I wrote this about a month before Father's Day and never expected it to be published.  My sister in law, Bev, called me to see if I had written it.  Dad got to hear his tribute before he passed away.

My New Theme Song - from the intro to Malcolm In the Middle

You have to imagine me singing this very loudly, fist pumping, and dancing about in the apartment, terrifying the cats. It's my war dance.

Divorce, Again. (Oh Happy Day)

Well, no one ever said Life in the Giggleweeds would be easy, did they? The first time I was married nine years. This time, I've been married almost twenty-three. My youngest child kept me hanging in there as I certainly didn't want to divorce his dad with him stuck in the middle as a "Prize," (which is often how children are treated - as common chattel - in a divorce.) I agreed to wait until his senior year was over to make my escape. I'm glad I waited for him to be ready to go off to college.

Now, why I've waited an entire year to begin the proceedings, is beyond me. Oh, yeah, it's the money thing. Duh.

As I said, "Oh Happy Day!"
