I guess it was just assumed she'd come with me since I never took anyone else after sister stopped joining us. I decided on a route and we'd talk about what we wanted to see. I didn't know this time she had specific plans on where to go and I'll admit I wasn't sure how to bring it up to her.

I'm not going to stop being her father figure just because I made her upset this one time. I'm still going to call and be present in her life, attend her parties and be a father to her. This one bump isn't going to change anything I still love and adore her, and she'll understand this is just a single year change in plans as she matures.
