You are great! You remind me of my daughter in law and one of my wife's nieces. You and they will wade into areas where mere men and most women won't dare even step into.
You just hang in and shame people with humor into doing what they should have done a long time ago.
I have a feeling that my grand daughter who is not 3 yet will have the same charm, skill, bravery, tenacity or what ever label applies to get what should be done, done by those who don't want to do what should be done. Her mother was a cheerleader, and even before she is 3, she does a lot or routines and Jazsercise routines (her mother is a Jazzercise instructor).
Great work, and I will hit DC tomorrow with my $5/month essay.

You do not know how much I wish my daughter had a grandfather like you!!!!!!!!!
My husband's parents are both gone and my parents don't even acknowledge my existense, let alone that of my daughter. A year ago I sent a picture in a card and I wrote she's been asking about her grandparents. Nothing. It's tearing me apart - not for me, I couldn't care less - but I think my daughter should have the kind of grandparents I had.
Never mind anything I just said. re-reading it I realized, the last thing on earth I want is unwilling relatives for my child - I had enough of them when I was growing up.
