I love this picture!
Pride and wonder… My father looks very proud while I seem to be looking off into the distance, maybe even a little concerned?
There are relationships in our lives that help mould us and the nature of how that happens is actually quite natural yet inconspicuous.
I, after a long break, finally had the opportunity to reconnect with my beautiful sons!
Yuta now 15 and Louis now 12 have certainly grown and changed in the last 5 years but the sum of our time spent together still outweighs the time spent apart. Much has happened and certainly much has been said to try and infect the love that exists between us.
How much manipulation can you use before even a master manipulator exposes her hidden strings?
The conversation with my boys was natural, gentle and some how it had a tender tone to it!
I have missed you both more than I will ever be able to express!
Talking with you both has rejuvenated me; it reminded me in a very real and tangible way of how much I love you.
How did all of this happen?
Last Friday I had a great day in court. A Judge understood! He really understood and endeavored to explain and tried to make her understand that there are consequences to our actions and inactions. He lectured eloquently and emphasized that it wasn’t too late to right the ship – that a paternal influence is critical and that even though the distance between homes is greater than usual with responsible action the situation can be managed appropriately.
He understood…
I really don’t know what will happen but I will always be grateful for his understanding, compassion and foresight!
And so the journey continues…
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.” Robert Frost
Love,
Dad
