Tuesday, March 24, 2009: Hey Beautiful! It’s 10:41pm. I know you are asleep, hopefully dreaming nice things. I can’t sleep. I have been waiting to write with some good news. I can’t believe it’s been almost 20-days since we found you again and I am still sitting here waiting for the “officials” to serve Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel). I am so sorry Sam. I am trying to do the right thing. I really am. I deal with the pain of not being able to hold you and play with you or just watch you sleep like I used to do when I would put you to bed at night. I cannot possibly describe the pain in my heart Sam. Then again it allows me to feel you and the love a Dad has for his daughter on a different level. I wake up some days and still cannot believe this happened. I wake up some days waiting for you to come into my office to say “good-morning papa” like you always used to do. I miss that so much Samy.
So, I talked with Alicia earlier today. She is hoping to have those papers served to Adriana by Friday. We will see what happens by Friday. The good news is that the courts gave us everything we asked for the first time we tried this. Investigators have been keeping a watch on Adriana every day. We know you are still there. Alicia cannot wait to see the look on Adriana’s face when she goes to the house where you are at. I wish I could be there too. I like Alicia and Carlos a lot. They have really been great to me. I almost feel like they are family. They took what happened to us personally even though they are attorneys and have seen this before.
On another note, I also found a picture of your first Christmas. You were 7-months old at the time. The picture was absolutely adorable! You were so happy Sam. It brought back so many good memories. I know we have many more to come. I LOVE YOU SAMANTHA! Sweet dreams Sweetheart!
