I just wanted to prove I could find it...

If tonight wasn't absolutely spectacular then I don't know what else to call it. We went up on the parkway and searched for the cascade falls, walked all the way down to it and sat in awe for a good hour or so in zen. The stars were amazing and there was lightning bugs everywhere. It was so pretty. We finally got up to hike back up the trail and made it to the car and laid on it and just watched the stars for a while. Sometimes the simplest things are the greatest, there were shooting stars. Sometimes you just forget how wonderful nature can be when you live in the city. The way back we saw so many deer, skunks, and possums everywhere, wild animals at their finest. We went back home and talked and had fun. I didn't want to leave, I didn't want this night to end. Two beautiful things combined, the stars and you. You're beautiful. The only thing that would have made this night more perfect would have been seeing my daughter, I miss her so much...I feel sad almost all the time because I want to be with her a lot more. Until I get my own place I'm screwed. I love her so much....I just can't put it in words. I want to write her a letter that she can read when she's older about what's going on right now and how much I care. That's the only way she'll ever know about this time period and the shit the other half of her family will try to tell her.
I'm doing what I can with what time and money I got...I'm doing my best, that's all I can offer to anyone....
