Freedom...

I have devoted my life to caring for a child with special needs... my son. The road has been long and hard, but I'm still standing. I have never left him with anyone for longer than a couple days, yet now I am getting ready to leave the country for a week. I am entrusting his care to not only my current inlaws but to my ex, Brian, and his fiance Jenn, my ex in laws, and to his paternal father. Needless to say, I'm a wreck. My mother, who will not be watching my son while I am gone, has said not to worry about it. "Everything seems to work out when a child is concerned. It's not like any of them is just going to say, "See ya, kid." and take off, leaving him alone." Which I had to agree with, but the whole thing is still pretty unnerving, and just gets tossed on the bonfire that is my life.

Musuoka,

You are why I am here. May the sakura carry us away on our much deserved vacation. May this be the first of many but the best so far. I love you with all that I am.

There are things in our life that are too painful to speak about, but must be understood. There are things that we are each supposed to be learning, but we are not always aware of our education until it is already a part of our awareness. I have learned much and will continue to do so until the day I die.. it is an endless process that can not and should not be avoided, but relished. May the pain be only a marker of how deeply we've cared and but a pang of memory as we pass through the years. May we all be blessed with the deepest of loves and the greatest of happiness.

Thank you for being there for me lately. It hasn't been easy, but nothing worth having ever is. I love ya'll.

Me.
