Some men seem able to move on to another family, and forget the first one. It was nice of your daughter to try to engage him in her life, but sometimes it is to no avail. This seems to be a common problem. I am glad she has a warm family environment with you to enrich her life.https://differentshoresblog.wordpress.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/16936131757889957955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24957384.post-20752695282295570422017-01-09T07:55:07.758-06:002017-01-09T07:55:07.758-06:00Sometimes we overlook the moments and what they br...Sometimes we overlook the moments and what they bring - memories are a way to recollect and remember those moments.
