Sadly there are people that never get the opportunity to experience such awesomeness as this!
We made the decision several years ago to give birth to new traditions. I always said that if something got in the way of my spending time with and having contact with my daughter that I would set goals and follow a different path in life. As no one knows how much time we have in this life, it became clear to me that I had to follow a different path than I was on back in Winston Salem. I would have continued to suffocate and slowly die from...
While it is a different life that we live today, it has been a happier, more fulfilling life. We have set the goal of spending each and every holiday in a different part of the country, if not the world with and without other people. We experience different celebrations and traditions. One celebration and tradition that remains to be constant is that we (my better half) and I share these things together.
During most visitation with Brooke, we would travel outside of Winston-Salem. I so wanted to instill with her the wonders that were available to us to enjoy. Another truth be told, an equally important reason to get away from WS was to get away from Brooke's mom. Brooke's mom would often be suspiciously near when Brooke was with me (us). Parental interference was her goal and she was and still is a master at it. Without doubt Brooke knows that there is a world other than the one her mother created for her. She can escape the life that was handed to her just as I escaped the life I thrust myself into when I met her mother.
I chose to live without drama created by others so that I may live well.
