I Am Back

This month has been hectic and busy. I saw two of my kids this month and had a wonderful time with them. I am still trying to get my pictures uploaded and hopefully will have them available tonight.

Today is Father's Day! My oldest son is dealing with the loss of two of his children. Some women either through ignorance, self absorption, indifference will use their children to punish the father. Yes the separation has turned ugly and the kids are being used as pawns. Unfortunately there are no winners in this game and the kids are the ones who suffer the most. I am just so angry and frustrated by this situation, the lies, the half truths, the "pity me" blogs, that I could scream. Being a single parent I hate situations like this. It makes my blood boil. I started volunteering to learn job skills, I went to college, and my priority was my kids. I took a job that supported us and had medical benefits. I even took a second job. I lived in a 30 year old trailer that when the wind blew outside.... it blew on the inside as well. It had more holes than Swiss cheese and became a haven for wild animals. Remember the possum kids? I didn't hold the kids for ransom for more money, to have my bills paid, or just to be mean. Every day was an adventure. Just hang in there Rusty -

Surely came home the first week in June. What do you do with a little white box that holds more than just the ashes? I have seen on the Internet beautiful urns, doggie statues, porcelain boxes design to hold the cremains of your pet. That was not Surely. While my son was down, we went to Sabino Canyon and of course we had to check out the gift shop. There on a shelf was a Coyote hand puppet and that is where Surely will reside. Her little box fit inside perfect and she can ride down the road with us. When we park, she will sit on the dash overlooking her small kingdom. I am happy she is home.
