Thanksgiving Eve

Bill always seems to be putting something together. Last week it was this doll house.
Last night, He added a new television to his "man cave" with his little helper looking on.

After we took the little darling for a pair of dress black and ended up buying a pair of gold shoes to match her Christmas dress and of course she had to have those boots.

Every Action has a Consequence.

He said he does not believe she could be his daughter because she does not resemble him nor any of his nieces or nephews who have the strong dominant Cannon genes of red hair, and freckles, or those prominent big blue eyes that have always been a hallmark of a Cannon. The Cannons are tall, both male and female. He believes she resembles the other guy. After meeting her, I have to agree with him. Because we are too attached to this emotionally charged situation and may not be objective, we spoke to his older brother and showed a picture of her to my sister in law who also said she could not see a Cannon resemblance. Three years ago the DNA test reported he could not be her father. He took a second DNA test yesterday however we know these over the counter tests are not accurate because the labs that run the tests have poor regulations and the only true accurate test is the chain of custody test done at a private lab. Those private lab tests are both regulated and legal though very expensive and unless her mother pays for one it will not be done. Her mother started this shit storm therefore it is her responsibility to make this situation right. At this point, whatever the results there will always be that doubt that it is inaccurate or has been tampered with. There are too many unanswered questions, coupled with lying and emotional instability.

Why wait all these years to inform someone they may have fathered a child? How could one not know they were pregnant or know who the father may be? Why allow another three years to pass before requesting a repeat test? None of it makes sense. Too many years have passed. When one does not raise a child or knows of their existence, there is no emotional connection. Relationships develop over time and need to be nurtured. One cannot magically become "Daddy" or "Mommy" to a grown adult.The entire situation is very sad as no child should grow up not knowing who their father is nor should a father have been kept from their child.

I have no idea what is going to happen however I must place my confidence in God that everything will work out as it should. I know one thing I want peace of mind.

Loss

Bill left for Florida this morning. His father is dying of end stage heart failure and has very time left on this earth. He is under hospice care. It has been a stressful sleepless week receiving information and updates via through third persons in which the information was not always accurate. Retiring to Florida is a great idea unless you are sick or did not prepare for retirement correctly financially both which are the case as it pertains to Bill's father. His siblings are discussing funeral arrangements and it appears those arrangements include cremation in Florida and a service in Pennsylvania. It is difficult to watch your husband grieve because he is losing his father. I remember how he grieved when his mother died ten years ago. I cannot imagine the pain he is feeling. I still have both my parents and I dread the day when I lose them. It does not matter how old you are you still grieve their loss.
