"A daughter needs a loving, available, predictable father or father figure who can be counted on, whether divorced or at home. She needs his best paternal intentions, even if his efforts occasionally fall short. She needs his maturity and limit setting and sexual oppositeness, so that she can function with confidence in the wider world of adult love and work."
- Victoria Secunda
Jack's daughter, Katherine, came for Christmas, Part 3, on Wednesday evening. I was able to capture this shot of the two of them between coughing and blowing my nose -- results of my SECOND December cold.
