If we were closer, I’d hope she’d feel comfortable confiding in me, particularly as she grows out of adolescence into womanhood. But she’s just a teenager, I’m almost twice her age, and because of that, we’ve never been close, even though I love her and couldn’t get enough of her as a baby. Mom’s said I should try to hang out with her more, but Ziggy’s always playing soccer and I’m always working. Gelling our schedules is virtually impossible.
