I spoke with him briefly about the passport situation and reminded him that the authorization needed to be signed by him, notarized, and then sent to me. I told him he is holding up the process of purchasing her airline ticket and every day that goes by, the ticket prices go up. He said he... Continue Reading →
The echo in my head
I keep thinking about the conversation we had yesterday. The way he was acting and the tone of his voice brought back in memory a conversation we had about DD years ago. From the moment the conversation ended, I kept hearing the echo of the words he told me. "You can have her until she is... Continue Reading →
He has the power now
He never replied to my email and I was wondering what was going on. Does he just not want her to go and if not, why doesn't he just say so. DD had already informed him that she wanted to spend time with her aunt and grandfather. So it’s not like he has to be... Continue Reading →
The worry is forever there
Every morning I walk my daughter out to the street to see her off to school. I always hug her, tell her I love her and to have a good day. I constantly worry about her from the moment she steps into the street and heads for the bus stop. I even watch her walk... Continue Reading →
Back to the same old games
When will he ever grow up? I thought that this game playing would be over by now. We haven’t spoken to one another in almost two years and I just figured he would be much happier now and would no longer have the need to revert back to his old ways. But then again, maybe... Continue Reading →
Heart broken Greek Summer

She is now 13 and is wanting to go for the summer to spend time with her Aunt and Grandfather (her grandmother passed away last... Continue Reading →
The Adventure of Relocating
Three years ago today, we were traveling to a state we had never been, to live in a home we had never seen and to start a new job I thought I would never get. What an adventure me and my daughter were on! I remember the excitement of not knowing where we were going... Continue Reading →
Looks whose been looking me up on line
I had an on-line-friend overseas look me up after several years by sending me a friend request from Linkedin (a business website). I hadn't been there in years, so I went ahead and logged in after requesting my password. When I did, I noticed that one person had looked at my profile within the last month, so I click...

A Father and Daughter Relationship
What I saw today brought tears to my eyes. I saw a young father teaching his 4 year old daughter how to ride a bike. I hadn’t seen that in years and watched in amazement how patient he was with her. How he walked her through each little step. How she rode and he ran along... Continue Reading →
Jump…Jump…Jump
Ok, so here's the thing. I have been spending my time state jumping and now I have started job jumping. I just started this new job six weeks ago and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Not to mention, I have no idea what state I would like... Continue Reading →
