While in Idaho, we saw a little cousin Becky who has been adopted into the family. She's maybe 8? And my dad was just super sweet to her and made her marshmellows and when she was crying he picked her up and let her cry into his shoulder.
Since I was 9 I've been told to stop crying because it's manipulative. Sooo I was pretty jealous of this 8 year old girl. And also pissed at my dad for giving those kinds of things to her and not to me.
All that aside, I'm really glad those things were done for Becky because her birth-mom is a crack head and her adoptive parents are kind of rough on Becky and her brother Dylan, who has extreme ADD. Like on the medical gradation of how bad ADD is, he has the most extreme. So I'm glad there was a moment of sunshine for her, I just wish I got to experience that Dad.
