Today brat and I took Master Rig lunch at work, and were able to have a wonderful half-hour of “us” time. It was nice to just sit down, talk, sit on his lap, rub his back, get kissed and hugged. I’ve missed him. We’re trying hard to find a time that the three of us can spend some quality time together, but we also need to find time for each of us to spend time with him alone. One thing that’s becoming really important with me is developing relationships apart from brat- sometimes even I forget that we’re two different people, not one unit!

It’s been so nice to see brat’s joy over Daddy R.; she’s been a joyous wreck since they made plans to meet tomorrow. We rushed back from our errands today so that she might catch him online before her left work, but he wasn’t on. She had a little pout on her pretty puss- until she opened her mail, and there was an email from him waiting for her. A huge, eye-crinkling grin broke out on her face. “Daddy R?” I asked. She showed me his email, and I was so happy to see her joy. It’s in moments like these that I really understand the concept of compersion.
