I have been wanting to write this for a week but I have been a little down due to the holidays and knowing now that Christmas will never be the same. My daughter informed me the Friday before Christmas that she no longer believed in Santa and that she had planned to tell me on... Continue Reading →
Watched an R rated movie with my Daughter for the first time
As you know, my daughter is 15 and loves to read. She reads all kinds of novels, except for romance. However, last night she told me about a movie that came out on a book she had just read and wanted to us to watch it together. All she told me was that it was... Continue Reading →
An overseas birth in Greece
My daughter is now 15. Where has the time gone?!

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 →
A wanna-be-father after six years?? Really??
The dead-beat had a Skype conference with DD today. Contact with DD has died down in a major way over the last few months, hell over the last year. Even though he no longer has a cell phone, he has access to a computer 24/7, but even that doesn't seem to motivate him enough to... Continue Reading →
