Tuesday, August 11, 2009: Hi Sam! You are still on your “vacation”. It’s crazy to think it’s been almost a month since I last saw you. It’s even crazier that Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) does not seem to care that you have been gone that long. Then again she makes a habit of this unfortunately: Spain, Montreal, Dominican Republic, etc. What is scary is that she keeps giving me lip service as to when you will actually be coming home. Adriana knows full well you were never supposed to leave at all.
So, this is how we start the 9th month of this odyssey.
Yesterday was a sad day. The 10th of every month is because it was November 10th when all this started. Everyone here is just as concerned as I am Sweetie. Everyone here keeps asking about you. We were supposed to get the ‘official’ DNA results yesterday. That did not happen. Alicia and Carlos were chasing down the lady who took the DNA from us. She was avoiding us all day. Finally today they caught her and she went against her word and would not tell us the results! Can you believe that??? I paid for the damn test and she won’t tell us what the results are! Alicia and Carlos are very angry as am I. On one hand I wonder if she is mad at me because I did not take her up on her offer for a bribe to get the results sooner. Seriously! She offered to get the results to me a few weeks ago for an extra couple hundred dollars. We declined because in reality it would not have helped us anyway with the courts being closed for the last 3-weeks.
<DEEP SIGH> I have been working for the last 12-hours straight. I need a break. I am going to go to the beach to watch the sunset. I cannot wait to do this with you everyday like we used to! I love you Sam! Daddy misses you very much! KISSES!
