Engagement has it pitfalls...

It took over 2 years to happen and then when it did the problem was notifying our loved ones in a manner that noone felt slighted or left out...how do you notify both your daughters without one feeling she wasn't "the first to know" when they are BOTH first in your heart? Ole Dad decided to use the modern version of direct communication...e-mail... and that didn't work out so good. I learned that "personal information should be shared personally (by phone when it can't be in person) and upset both my girls. Well, never let it be said that "an old dog can't learn new tricks"...so having not heard a response to my email announcement I texted them to check their e-mail boxes...that didn't work out too well either...same reason....so when I finally got together with them on the phone they were underwhelmed and left old Dad wondering... Like a lot of other fellas, my ladies mystify me and I don't pretend to understand them, but I love them with all my heart and I know in their heart-of-hearts that they are happy for Crys and me.
