When one door closes ...

I know this is a day late, but consider this my Father's day present to all of you

Being a father is an incredible thing. You fall in love with this red-faced squalling baby, and as they get older, you only love them more, even when they surprise you.

And boy, did I ever get a surprise from my child, born Emily.

The signs were there young, if I had only been able to see it. She always was a rough-and-tumble tomboy, always trying to “be like daddy” every chance she could.

New love can be fun.
New love can be bad.
For a time I can’t love.
For it was a time to heel.
Now that I am felling good,
I can love again.
Now I can start a new run.
Love is fun when you find it.
Love is bad when you loss it.
Out with the old love,
And in comes a new love.
Laura is now out of my life.
Anna is now in my life.
And I’m in her life
As a new love
Witch I have not told her yet.
It will take a little more time
To say it to her
Well here it goes

Jenny being the one that really takes care of Jamie and Amber is like a little mama to them.

While Mikey and I were trolling the internet for customs, cultures and quirks of the various countries we would be visiting, my phone chirped with a text.

I figured it would be Dez, although I considered it might be Eoin or Kirk. A little voice in the back of my head thought it could even be Bianca.

Nope.

I swallowed hard when I saw the 203 area code.

What the hell happened?

I quickly excused myself from Mikey and curled up into a chair in the corner where I cradled the phone between my folded knees and texted her back.

I wrote this back in March of 2008.

Little Boy-Girl Part 17 a Very Happy Thanksgiving

It was the next day and after school the Vaughn and Davis family went to the hospital to see Zack. He was so happy to see his sisters Katie and Taylor and cousin Zoey that he started to cry. That’s when Katie and Taylor ran to the bed to give him a hug. And before they can jump on to the bed he said no “I’ve just wet myself.” The twins just looked at him and said “we did to.” And then they “giggled.”

That’s when he saw Ms. Van Horne and asked “when can I go home.”

We all know what had happened to Anya from her story 'The Temptation of Anya' and the outcome of what Oksana's revenge had done to her.

But what of the effects on others who come to the park? What effects could have been caused intentionally or unintentionally? Here is one such story or several. A story of hopes and dreams. Of love and friendships.

Lee forgot one of the most basic rules of hunting. Do not leave so much bait, as to attract the entire pack.

Now, he has to deal with nearby the entire crew of badasses showing up in response to his bait.

Though, while his simple plan is a bust. He knows if he is patient, he will still have his chance to get a reality device, and escape.

And while those after him, don't have a clue that he is the one they are after. And with Sam as an alibi, Lee has made it so it is further unlikely that they will discover his identity.

The main problem Lee has right now, is to figure out to approach both the situation, and these very, very dangerous women, without literally getting his head blown off.

But then, a gambler is no stranger to danger.

Though, if Lee is able to pull that some introductions, he may come to regret it.

Meanwhile, Melvin has to deal with his second worst nightmare, next to being caught by Balalaika, and Hotel Moscow. That being forces into the situation of serving drinks to Revy and her family and friends.

Though, unlike Bao, Melvin doesn't take crap from anyone.
