    thought you were away at college. Is there some reason why you are here?" "I came home to offer Mom some encouragement. She's not used to this, as I'm sure she's told you." "Well, she certainly raised you right, Jennifer. That's mighty kind of you to come home to give her your support. Oh, by the way, please call me Frank." Jennifer was like a younger version of Jan. Other than the obvious age difference they looked identical. Jennifer certainly inherited her mother's good looks and her pleasant demeanor was no accident, either. It was true, Jan had raised her right. It is refreshing to find young people so polite and confident. It goes back to the parents, that's for sure. Our children were good young adults, although our daughter has a little too much of Susan in her. I hope that she didn't learn Susan's penchant for deceit. I'm afraid that I allowed our kids to drift away after they moved out on their own. I was always too busy, or so it seemed at the time, to take time to give them a call or send them a card. That ends now, I told myself. I was going to reconnect with both of them now that Susan and I are divorcing. They need to hear from both of their parents, if for no other reason than to explain what had happened to cause our split. I would spare them the nasty details, but they both need to know that I am still their father and that I love them very much, despite all that has gone down.

Her makeup and hair were equally impressive and all I could do was stand there and gawk at her like a smitten teenager. "Hey, there, are you somewhere else?" she asked, fighting off the urge to laugh out loud. "You look like you are a million miles away." "I'm sorry, Jan. I wasn't prepared for how lovely you look tonight. You really look wonderful. Are you sure you want to be seen with a schmuck like me?" "Hey, that's your word, not mine. I happen to think I'll be on the arm of the best-looking man in the place." I walked to her and gave her a sweet little kiss, so as not to mess up her makeup. Jan returned the favor with a little fuller kiss on the lips. "Jan, I'm the luckiest guy in the world to have you with me tonight. I'm so happy that you agreed to go out with me. I imagine you could have your pick of any number of guys who would want to take you out, but you chose me." "No, Frank. I'm the lucky one. And you're right, a lot of men have asked, but none made the cut. I sensed something special about you. So did Jennifer, and I value her advice." Jennifer came into the room just as Jan said that. "I told Mom that she looked hot in that outfit, but she didn't think so." "For what it's worth, Jennifer, I ...
