JMF, you and I were together yesterday on the lake and you didn't even know it.
Not long after I posted, my daughter went for a cruise on the lake with one of our jet skis. After she put some distance between us - her on the lake, me on the dock - she called me from her cell phone.
She asked if "Joe" could come over and ride with her. Joe was one of her local drug buddies whose mother dragged him back to MO to clean up. Supposedly Joe is in recovery and was in town yesterday for court stuff and leaving last night.
I said no and, when she asked me why, I said because I don't trust him. "When will you trust him again?" she asked. "It isn't today," I answered.
I told her I was open to trusting him but first I had to get to know him again, though it wouldn't be at my house. The kind hearted part of me wants to trust him but he has to earn it. I wanted to say yes, but in a split second I thought about what I posted to you and said no.
I can't tell how good I felt after saying no and I was sending you some of those good vibes.
