My daughter and son-in-law invited me over to watch football today. She wanted me to know that her twin sister (also my daughter), who is an A, and whom I haven't had contact with in six months, would also be there. She told me not to ask questions of my AD and to just "go with the flow."

And so I did. And it went fine. Much less awkward than the last time I saw her when she gave me almost zero eye contact and did not talk directly to me. It was good to see her. She looked good, did not drink while she was there, and we even exchanged some small conversations. Almost....almost...felt like old times before her disease took her over.

So I will just be happy with today, and take it a day at a time with her. With the holidays coming up, I don't know what the future will hold, but for now, I will be satisfied with today and not think about the future. Thank you, HP, for this day. It was such a relief to know that she is okay and that we can be civil with each other right now.
