Friday, December 17, 2010: Good Morning Beautiful! It’s Friday morning and I am a McDonald’s at the border. I have to have to have my morning coffee before I head over into Mexico for the weekly ritual being reminded of that horrible week in August. I hold out hope that this will be over and soon. I know what I am fighting for Sam. At first glance the last 2 1/2 years looked somewhat normal to you. Except you are wondering where I have been. It’s much deeper than that as you know by reading this journal. I am not just fighting because I am your Dad. I am fighting because I love you more than anything in this world. You are my Little Princess. Any Dad would be honored to have you as a daughter. I don’t take that lightly. Therefore I am doing everything I can to protect yours. One thing I have learned throughout all this is that when the pain I feel inside cuts as deep as it has and continues to do so, all I can do is figure out a way to make it right. I LOVE YOU SAM! I can’t wait to see you tomorrow. KISSES!
