I gave up...filed for D

hey guys...

I wanted to wish everyone a fun and peaceful 4th. It's one of my favorite holidays. I don't know why...I guess it's warm and there are always good friends and family around doing something fun.

I am taking the kids camping by a lake here in Cali. It's beautiful. We've been to this place several times. It's weird because I asked my daughter if she wanted to go camping last month and she said, "I don't wanna go we're not a family anymore and it's not the same." That broke my heart but things have changed.

I think although we still wish dad were here we've learned that it's ok to keep living without him. So...we are going camping for a couple days. It will be so nice. I think I will be brave and take the boat.

I hope to leave some good memories in the minds of my troubled teenangers.

Luv
