Hi 12-31-14

Good morning Sebastian and Kaitlin

How are you?

Funny I just said goodnight to you both via text

Rare that you text me before bed

But I do like that 

Very much 

I hope you've had a good day 

Only one more of 2014

And then 2015

It's already the 31st here

It was fun driving to the office today 

It was just 28 degrees

The roads are all white and slippery

Especially near to the office

But that's ok

I just take it easy and make sure that I have lots of space

I have to go to work or I'd stay home until the white stuff melted

But that's not a plan here

It might never melt 

How is San Diego 

On the news it looks cold there too 

Ramona could have snow 

That's close by 

Wow

Usually only mount Palomar

Remember we went there with Stephanie and Tina in the Hummer

That was a nice day out too

I remember those days and the one with Bill & Millie so clearly

I miss those times 

I miss you 

I hope that I get to see you soon

Aunt Tina said that you could come here in the summer 

I don't think that it will happen as mom isn't going to be ok with that 

But we will wait and see and pray for that 

I am working on coming back to America 

I have to file the forms mid- January 

That's to allow me to fight the deportation 

If they say yes then perhaps I can come for a visit 

If they say no then we'll have to wait further

If they say no we could have to wait until 2017

But rest assured that I am trying hard to make it happen this year (2015)

Aunt Sherry wants me to marry her to get the green card

She's so silky 

That's not as simple as that 

Plus I don't love her in that way 

Not at all

She'd need to be approved by you and that's hard since I'm here and you are there 

I wouldn't do anything so drastic as marry someone without you knowing 

I love you 

I miss you 

I wish I was there with you 

To hold, to comfort, to laugh and have fun together 

Happy New Year's Eve 

Love always and forever 

Daddy xoxo 😍😍😘😘😎😎❤️❤️👪👪💖💖👣

Hi 12-30-14

Good morning Sebastian and Kaitlin

How are you?

I am ok

I talked to Aunt Tina yesterday 

They are in San Francisco; they are having a lovely time 

That's awesome 

They might go to Yosemite as well

That would be lovely for them

It's really nice there.

I hope that they stopped at Big Sur and 1/2 Moon Bay as well

There are some really nice places on the drive to / from SF

Plus of course the Golden Gate Bridge 

What did you do yesterday 

I know you ate some Vietnamese food 

You texted me about that 

Did you go to Santa Ana for that 

Or at home

Is mom ok

What is she doing for fun with you these days

I hope you are all doing well

I will be sending some stuff today to you 

iPad mini 

Card for Kaitlin and more

I hope you like the iPad mini

Mine lost all battery last night - which is very odd

But that's life with electronic stuff 

I must have had something working in the background

Tonight I'll make sure it's charged ready for use in the morning 

I'm not at work this morning 

I'm working from home today

Hopefully all will be ok with the office - I don't want to go in

I will be the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day 

That's ok 

I don't mind 

I don't like to go out on New Year's Eve 

I think I have an ear and sinus infection 

I have some antibiotics and I got an inhaler for my chest 

So I should be ok

I hope 

If not I'll go back to the Dr

Lovely ... NOT 

I saw Ben - Millie and Fiona yesterday 

They are all well

Fiona managed to reverse into my car and scratch the back bumper 

Skill

That woman has skill at driving 

Not 

Lol

The car is ok

It's just a car 

I wasn't mad 

I held it in quite well

Fiona is a little clingy these days but that's life

She'll get over it 

Sherry is also clingy but she's not getting over it 

I texted Dave; Kate and Hays miss their mom 

That's expected at this time of year

Tara is in a new jail 

One far away from San Diego

I think a 4 hour drive

So not sure whether Dave is taking them to see her

I hope he is

She deserves a lot but to not see and hear your kids is heart braking 

I know 

Mary Ann wished us all a good Christmas as did Sami

Roni and Jason never replied 

That's the way it goes

They don't like me anymore 

Coz I didn't want Sherry to stay here with me 

Sherry said she wants to return to London in February

I've said that she can't stay here with me 

She's mad as hell at that 

Too bad

I will do what I think is right 

Not what someone else wants me to do 

That's just crap

I miss you so much 

I love you with all my heart

I can't wait to see / hear you in person again 

Soon 

I hope

Love always and forever 

Daddy xoxo 😍😍😘😘😎😎👪❤️❤️

Hi 12-29-14

Good morning Sebastian and Kaitlin

How are you?

Hope all is well

Hope you had a good weekend 

Did you do anything fun?

Hope you did

What did you do?

I came to see Ben and Millie and Fiona

They are happy 

Millie has a new boyfriend

He's lucky she's very nice

Met her friend Grace Ann

She's nice too 

But a lot bigger than Millie

Ben has lots of girls

He's 13 

It's to be expected 

Lol

Fiona is well

She's ok

No boyfriend

Lol

That's also to be expected

She doesn't like to date / go on the dating scene

Can't blame her 

It's horrible

I'm ok

Of course missing you like crazy 

Wish that I was home with you both 

Wish that I could hold you both 

I have a conference call with work later today.

That should be fun.

I'm not actually scheduled to work today and tomorrow

Guessing I'll be in tomorrow 

I'm in Birmingham today which is ok

I can work via the iPad

I'll be sending the iPad mini to you tomorrow 

I'll be sending K's birthday card tomorrow as well

Plus her present (in addition to the back pack)

I hope you have a great day

Love always 

Daddy xoxo 💑💑👪👪😎😎😍😍😘😘

Hi 12-28-14

Good morning Sebastian and Kaitlin

I hope all is well

I hope you had a good Saturday

On Friday I went for a drive 

I ended up doing 650 miles over Fri and Sat

Sweet

I went to a place called Cornwall

It's very nice there 

I think you'd like it 

Peaceful

Like Oceanside 

Sherry has said that she's sending you a present directly Kaitlin

That's nice of her

She is a good friend 

That's for sure

She's threatening me with coming here next year again.

I won't have that 

It's not right 

I don't want her that way

I don't want anyone except you 

She thinks that the PTSD a that I have will be over by February

She's so dumb it's amazing 

Oh well

I guess that I will ignore that email or just tell her straight up

Whatever 

I am going to see Ben and Millie today 

I bought them (and you) souvenirs from Lands End

Lands end England is the final point of the country 

Looks like just about everywhere else 

But it is the end of the country 

The other side it is john o groats in Scotland

But that is a 1400 mile trip

That's a lot of miles and a lot of money in gas / hotels 

I am coughing again this morning 

I think it's the heat in the house 

Awesome 

Not 

This morning there is frost on the ground and ice on the car

Yuck

Yesterday I saw snow

Yuck double yuck 

I miss you 

I love you 

I wish we were together 

I pray and hope we'll be together soon 

Love always and forever 

Daddy xoxo 😍😍😘😘😎😎💑💑

Hi 12-26 & 12-27-14

Good morning Sebastian and Kaitlin

How are you 

I hope all is well

I hope that Christmas was good 

Obviously not brilliant as daddy wasn't there 

But you know what I mean

Aunt Sherry has been looking into how to get me home 

She's a good person 

Odd and strange at times 

But then we all are.

I spoke with Uncle John and the girls on Thursday

They are all well

I am still part of John's business idea 

So I am running the uk operation

I'll run the European operation once we have funding and ask the USA to allow me to come home based on the job 

That might work in my favor 

Who knows

But it is certainly worth trying 

I also spoke to Scot & Linda and saw the boys 

That was great too 

They are all ok

They are loving Utah except for Linda who hates it there 

I totally understand 

It's not California

Therefore it's not home 

I used Skype for both those calls 

Haven't used Skype since the USA with grandpa

Christmas Day with grandma and grandpa and Nikki and the kids was ok

It's not like being home with the two kids I adore 

You 

But I had to do it 

Friday i was off

So I took off early and watched the sun come up as I was driving 

It's been cold 

But it was worth it 

I went to two places that I'd never been before 

Awesome

I'm in Plymouth now - and off to finish my drive today 

I stayed the night in Plymouth 

😎

It's cold but good 

I walked into a restaurant alone last night 

But everyone looked at me and I didn't stay

I just can't face eating like that alone 

So I ended up in an American style diner

The food was ok

Just barely 

But whatever the milkshake was amazing 

I miss you 

I love you with all my heart and soul 

Forever and ever 

Daddy xoxo ❤️❤️💖💖👣👣😍😍😘😘

12-25-14 - Christmas Poem

Between us there are many miles
But, separately, we can share our smiles
Although not physically there, it’s true
My heart has traveled to be with you
May all that’s good come your way
(Enjoy your very special day)
(Have a very special Christmas Day
and a great New Year too)

Hi 12-25-14 - Merry Christmas

Good morning

It was awesome to text this morning

You’re night

I am glad that you opened the gifts

And that you like them

Sorry that the Mr. Men cups are broken

I’ll get you more

I will ship the iPad Mini next week

I will get more Mr. Men cups in the next few weeks

I am not sure where  to get them now

I hope you get something cool with the money

That’s the intention, not to save it ok?

I hope that mom makes Christmas special for you

I know that it is hard not being there together

I wish I were there

I wish I could have seen you open presents and smile

That is all I wish for

That is all I ever hope and pray for – us to be together again

I love you so much

My heart aches to be with you

Today is the 1^st Christmas waking up in my place

It feels strange

It feels good

It feels lonely

But I adapt, I have no choice

Adapt or die

Right?

We’ll be together soon for special occasions

I hope and pray for that

I love you with all of my heart

All of my being and all of my soul

Merry Christmas my children

Love always and forever

Daddy xoxo

Hi 12-24-14

Hi Sebastian & Kaitlin

How are you?

How was your day?

How is your Christmas Eve

Mine is ok

I am coughing very very hard

Didn’t want to come to work

But I always do

I might not stay the entire day

But then again …

I am not the kind of person who takes off early

Fortunately no need to get up tomorrow, or Sat/Sun

4 days of lay in’s!

Thank God

I need that

I could sure use the days off

We’ve had some issues at the office with the host computers dying

That’s not good

Lots of client issues

Lots of staff issues

And most of the staff are away this week

Oops

Oh well; live, learn and move on

Julian and I were both here at the butt crack of dawn

Before dawn actually

Come to think of it

LOL
It’s still dark here

I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark

That’s life when you get old

It was Amelia-May’s 20^th birthday yesterday

She had some friends around (25 of them) to Fiona’s house

I suspect that it is trashed and that they all had a good time

They should all be hungover this morning!

LOL

They are 20 – it’s legal to drink alcohol at 16 hear!

(Most of Europe)

I miss you so much

I love you with all my heart

Love and hugs and kisses

Merry Christmas from London

It’s hard to be festive without the two most important people in my life with me

Love always and forever

Daddy xoxo

Hi 12-23-14

Hi Sebastian & Kaitlin

2 days and Christmas is done!

Yeah!

I don’t like it without you

I don’t celebrate it without you

What’s the point?

None

I got some weird news on the new car

It says that I can’t register it as it could have been written off/stolen in the past

So they have issues with it

I’ve made the appointment (well applied for one) to get this checked

It’s just very odd

Very, very, very odd

It’s also off-putting as I constantly think I could get stopped by the PD

I could lose the car at the end of this

It isn’t that it is much money

It is just that it is a pain in the butt to get another car

Oh well

We’ll see what happens

I got the new iPad Air

So I will end you the iPad Mini

That will be nice for you

I hope

I’ve wiped it clean

So it should be good for you

I hope that you will enjoy it

I have

The Air is nice

I don’t use it that much anymore to be honest

But it is for work

So all good

Did the DA ever return the laptop and the notebook?

I hope that they did

That was evidence against Tara

But now she’s gotten 16 we should get our stuff back

Thank you for the Christmas cards

They are beautiful

They were a surprise

I didn’t think mom would let you make them or send them

That is great

They are awesome

Thank you again

I miss you

I love you

I wish I were there with you

I wish we were celebrating together

Love always and forever

Daddy xoxo
