Another image from New Year's Eve, five years ago. I'm inside this year, and working for ABC instead of NBC. I'm also married now, and have better relationships with my twin daughters. Here's a deviantART journal entry from Christmas Day, five years ago.
Christmas 2006
Mon Dec 25, 2006, 6:56 PM
Mood: Sadness
Listening to: Eric Clapton - Unplugged, Pink - Missundaztood.
Eating: Ghirardelli Twilight Delight Dark chocolate
Drinking: Cold coffee and water - separately
My ex and her fiance have just left, preceeded a little while before that by my twin daughter Caitlin. The house - our home - is now back to containing just me...
I haven't even seen Caitlin since sometime in May, I believe, and that was just briefly - backstage - after her very last high school chorus performance.
Her sister Cristin did not come, and I had not expected her to. I've been made to understand that I was 'lucky' Caitlin even made an appearance here.
Here. Home.
Heart. Hearth. Hurt. History...
Her boyfriend came by after about an hour to pick her up to take her to his relatives house for dinner. He didn't even come to the door. He stayed in the car.
She said goodbye. She walked out the front door alone.
