Monday, March 21, 2011: Hi Sam! I miss you Sweetheart. Today is a very interesting day. I traveled up to Hollywood this morning. People from the TV show “LA Ink” called. They heard about our story and wanted to talk about an idea for a tattoo for the show. LA Ink is a show that documents real people getting real tattoos.
So today was the casting. Exciting! Of course driving up to Los Angeles, I could not help but think about you the whole drive. When you exit the freeway to get to the casting the drive takes you right by Paramount Studios, the movie studio that made the movie “Rango”. You love Rango! We will have to go take a studio tour some day, it’s beautiful. I got to meet a stuntman and a set builder. It was interesting to see the movie and TV business from the inside. They can turn an empty stage in Los Angeles and make it look like New York City. Incredible.
The casting itself was a more in-depth interview to talk about our situation and talk about what the tattoo will look like. I would love to see our story get some exposure. Kat Von D is actually from Monterrey, Mexico. She fully understands the dilemma we are facing.
This process made me think that I have to continue to educate people on parental child abduction and the ramifications it has on children. Most people think it’s a custody dispute gone bad. That is the furthest from the truth. Parental abduction is child abuse and a crime. Today was about YOU Sam. I can’t wait to see you on Saturday! DAD LOVES YOU!
