You never fail to make me smile. Never, ever doubt how much you are loved.

We had such a great week (I thought), I even bragged to everyone about how wonderfully behaved you have been. Now I find out you were lying about your missing assignments all week. I hate that I have to discipline you just before you leave for 6 weeks with your Dad. It really breaks my heart. I want to be the same comforting Mom that I always have been, but I am also the only one here to teach you integrity and responsibility. I would love to give you more freedom, but you keep showing me that you can't handle it. You were more responsible and trust-worthy 2 years ago than you are today.

That's what happens when we go watch him play in the orchestra. It is about him. You'll have your turn-don't worry. Besides, tomorrow you're having a sleepover-that will be about you.

He chose this. I don't think it's ever really going to stop sucking that he's not here when you want him to be, but I will be damned if you're going to hold yourself back from anything because of him.

Had I realized you were getting an F in Math before I gave it to you, I wouldn't have. But, since it is your only way of keeping in touch with your Dad and you were grateful to accept it--even from L, I am going to let you keep it. The X-Box is another story!
