Filial Piety

The past is stronger than my will to forgive
Forgive you or myself, i don't know
-shawn colvin

I ask myself, should I forgive him? And even if I should, can I? And if I can, will I ever forgive myself for forgiving him? And if I don't forgive him, will I forgive myself for not forgiving him? And how lastly I think, how very unforgiving of me to do this to myself.

I'm a confused girl.

Thank God I have a good husband, because I have a shitty dad.

Why so serious?

Evangeline (very seriously): Look at my face Dad, does it look like I'm laughing?

Adam (while suppressing a laugh): I'm sorry Evan, it's not funny.

Evangeline (to Adam, with a scolding tone): You think it's funny when someone loses something?

Emmaline struggles to control her giggling.

Evangeline (to Emmaline): Mom, it's not nice to laugh at people.
