Mr. Disappointment is so negative about her going to Greece for a year
When I told my daughter of the idea I had of her spending a year overseas in Greece, she was ecstatic to say the least.

I think most have forgotten 9/11, but I never will.
The anniversary of this tragic day has been bothering me for weeks now. I have been trying to get this down, but have been having a difficult time doing so.

To my Daughter’s Father
Over the years, I don’t think it has ever crossed your mind what you have put our daughter through. It hasn’t been the distance or even the fact that I brought her back with me to my home country.

Mom…
