Never said it didn't suck, but bailing is a harsh word to use on yourself.

If I can't be harsh on myself who can I be harsh on?

My daughter loves me. I love my daughter. I bought her stickers today. They'll go in cards. And in a month I'll be there all the time and she'll be happy and sad and angry and petulant and say "NO!daddy" and we'll love each other just the same.

But it won't change the fact that for nine of the past fifteen months I haven't been any closer than Skype.

I won't pretend I'm the healthiest person ever but I'm fairly certain we just aren't supposed to be harsh in general. Hell, I'm pretty sure you've told me to be less harsh on myself.

Lies, you go home to see her when you get the chance.
