Hope you have/had a safe trip home. Did you get to the beach yesterday? It was a nice day for it. |

I've lost track of where you are  If you're on your way back here, bring us some sunshine, would you? Do you start school next week?

Very slow and easy. Asia came with me on her bike. We had lots to talk about. We got word last night that her mom has now moved from Oregon to Texas and I have to send her there on Friday. I'm furious and Asia is devastated.

The trip went well and, yes, we did make the beach. It was a blast!

Can I take credit for this weather now that we're back?  Yeah, I start school Monday afternoon.

Wow. It has got to be difficult to send her back to someone so impulsive! Gear up - I think you're going to have Asia full time someday.

That's a tough break for Asia. It has to be hard on a kid to be so unsettled. It's a good thing you are there for her.

Thanks, guys. She means the world to me. I just don't feel like I'm doing her any good by sending her back. Then again, does getting her stuck in the middle of a protracted (not to mention interstate) custody battle do her any good? All I do know is that Friday is going to be a miserable day. At least school is going again with all that entails so I'll be able to just throw myself into that.

Another one with Asia. It's such a good time to talk.

Jim sorry to hear about the drama with the ex again. Hopefully the relocation goes well for Asia even though the initial impression is less than positive.

I don't think it will be a custody battle. Just be strong and ready. Meanwhile, it is wonderful that you all have had this time together Asia now knows exactly where she stands with you, and she'll take that with her.

Jim,
I'm very glad you've had so much quality time with Asia the past several weeks, but I am also really sad to see what you and Asia are being dragged through yet again. Hang in there! Kids are smart - I'm sure she knows who her rock is.
