Hmmm, that songs "Cats in the Cradle" comes to mind in regards to your dad. - he doesn't find time for family so when the time comes they wont have the connection to find it for him. Anyway..

No matter if we really don't expect it from previous experience it still hurts to have our excitement crushed by someone we expect more from.

Congratulations on your little Wigglet (very cute name).
