I couldn’t believe it, even when my sister told me.

“Are you sure? He actually said he was coming?” I asked.

“Yes! He’s scheduled the flight and everything.”

She was ecstatic; this was her wedding we were talking about. What daughter wouldn’t want her dad at her wedding? I meanwhile was hesitant. This was Dad, after-all. But I also wanted to

Uck- it's so hard when people who SHOULD be close to us let us down :(

Ouch, it hurts just reading this. Well done, I was drawn in as you told the story, hoping that, for once, he would show up.

Nice entry. It is so hard to not get your hopes up in situations like this. I have a family member I get burned by over and over because I always want to see the good or think things have changed. PArt of me knows I shouldn't trust them and yet part of me is suprised every time.

You captured the disappointment well. Sorry for the ongoing hurt.

Nicely said - these kinds of feelings are hard to deal with.
