The face is familiar, but...

Good morning Boys and Girls.

Nice weekend so far. Son-o-mine came over Friday night and we did absolutely nothing terribly exciting but had a good time talking and doing little things. Then, as four of us ate lunch yesterday, my daughter called to yap, so I called her back after the boy had departed for Detroit.

She tells stories in a funny way and in a few minutes, she had me in stitches. Evidently a boy (okay, now a man) who'd been a one time paramour, and whose name is legend within the family for his outrageous and outlandish attempts to win said daughter's favor ten years or more ago, has reentered the picture.

This having occurred, at first, much to her dismay and bewilderment, but, as is his style, he's again been, and is being, endearingly persistent. And, she says, that as leery as she is about allowing this to evolve even a little, he really and truly seems to have "changed" for the better.

So, as the days go by, she says, though she's been anything but encouraging, he seems to be making slow but steady headway into her blood pumper. This last, she said, in a few different ways to make sure I was catching the point, is annoying the hell out of her.

Perhaps you'd have to know her, but, my daughter really is one of the funniest people I've ever known.

Anyway, she had me laughing, and within a half hour of ending the call, meaning perhaps, forty-five minutes after Ryan left, I found myself descending into an evening long funk, missing the times when being part of their everyday lives was a matter of course; it simply... was.

Oh well. If - I'll call him "Romeo" - plays it straight, it sounds to me as though he has a prayer. If however, along the way, he happens to lapse into any sort of semblance of his former self - and I'm talking for even a millisecond or two - woe to the poor boy! She might just rip him limb from limb, and mostly because she'll feel especially stupid for having given him another shot.

For God's sake, Romeo, walk lightly! I have no shovel with which to clean your bloody mangled carcass from the street!


Be good to everyone.

You say Romeo..I say stalker...lol..not really, but I'm always hesitant about people who can't take no for an answer. Relationships aren't that hard, and if you have to try and convince someone they should be with you, it isn't going to work. Either you click or you don't. My guess is your daughter has her own mind, and she needs to trust her instinct. People really don't change that much.

Good luck to Romeo and your daughter!
