Luis has two kids - one is his biological son, the other is his ex-step-daughter who was all of 2 years old when he married her mom. Her biological dad has never been in the picture, so Luis is pretty much the only father she's ever had. She is turning 17 this week, so we took her out for dinner this past Friday. Luis hasn't seen her in about two years (for some stupid reasons, but that is a different story altogether), so she had lots to fill us in on.
As we drove to the restaurant, she dropped bomb after bomb on us. "This happened, then this happened, then this happened." Luis was a bit dumb-struck. I was curious, but knew that this was not the time to talk about all that had happened in her life. She is healthy and happy now, so we can review the past in more detail later.
I am constantly amazed by Ashley. She seems so very self-aware for her age. She sees certain situations in her life more objectively than most of us would be able to. And she seems fairly grounded considering all that she has been through. She is one of my heroes.
