Tyler has just started back at school; she’s now in secondary school. Things went back to normal in our house after our little holiday to my sister place. Jacinta was so happy to see them. I decided to made a promise to the girls that this time around I would not be dating for a while and when I do it will be with someone who truly loves and cares about me and the girls, not just someone who makes me feel less alone.
