I saw a photo of my daughter recently. She was wearing a sweatshirt and necklace that I bought her as a gift for her birthday. I was very excited to see this, because I haven’t had a relationship with my daughter, or my son, since early 2008. I thought, “she can’t be that mad at me if she’s wearing the gifts I sent her.”


My excitement was squashed when a friend of mine asked if I thought she knew the gifts were from me. This thought hadn't occurred to me. I thought “no, my ex wouldn’t do that”, but then again, I never thought she’d make good on her promise that if anything ever happened to our marriage I would never see my children again. I stayed in a loveless marriage just to be with my kids. I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel disappointed and manipulated.


So, I’ve started this blog in hopes that my children will see it and know how much I love and miss them ~ always have and always will. I will never ever give up on them, and my heart and my door will always be open and waiting, no questions asked. And speaking of questions, maybe reading this will cause them to question some of the things they have heard, or not heard, or been led to believe. They are smart kids, I'm sure they will be able to see through the fog surrounding them eventually.

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all the Moms out there a very special Mother's Day. I'm so grateful for all the Moms in my life ~ my Mom, my Step-Mom, my Sister who is a fantastic Mom to my nieces, my Grandma (who is still with us), my Grandmothers who can no longer share the day with us, all my fantastic Aunts, my wonderful friends who are Moms, and especially the Mother of my children ~ without her I wouldn't be a Dad to two beautiful children ~ thank you. Enjoy your day ladies!

For my kids ~ all the Moms on this side of your family send their love and good wishes, and can't wait to see you again soon!
