Thank you for the F-D wishes ... and all the comments everyone. Just thought I would pop on here and journal a bit ... seems the days turn to weeks very quickly.
We have set the mediation date ... Aug2, for those who have been keeping score this is the ... what 4th attempt to close, however this will be the first time we have had the 2 hour meeting to hopefully agree on everything. As MLC clock work goes W picked a fight shortly after first over sunscreen .. then over scheduling, more to remind herself what a horrible man I am and to justify going through with the process, I did not return fire at all ... like a seasoned warrior the spew just is not as toxic as it once was.
So ... Fathers Day weekend, I had S on Saturday, STBX did offer to switch days, however I really did not want to swtich up the schedule and besides ... everyday I have S is Fathers Day enough for me. I have been working on the Harley the past few weeks, and I mounted a second seat, pegs, and fabricated a sissy-bar with a back pad. That Saturday it was all set and ready to go so I tossed S a helmet and off we went for a beach ride. At first he was a bit timid ... holding tightly. we stopped off for lunch and started our return trip. I noticed 2 separate groups of girls pointing and laughing .. yes .. at Us. I could not figure out why till I caught in the mirror .. S flapping his arms like he was a bird ... the faster I went the faster he flapped ... had me laughing so hard. We got home and S was on cloud 9, said that was the funnest thing ever and has been on me since to take him to summer camp on it. After I grilled some steaks ... sat outside and just enjoyed the amazing weather we are blessed with.
July for me is GAL on steroids. On the 1st S and I are taking a road trip back home to Nebraska, for the 4th. will be great to go out fishing and he gets to light fireworks (Out here in Cali we don't even get sparklers) I plan on hitting some spots along the way, and doing the Grand Canyon on the way back. Then I am here for a week ... and off to China for work for 10 days. I am looking forward to that trip and experience. After I get back home .. about another week and the Mediation is set to take place.
The personal life stuff has been nice, still spending time with this girl I have been seeing, she is fun, happy, honest and we enjoy our time together. I am still healing and learning to swim again if you will .. but she has been great, understands a bit of what I have been through though I do not share much ... who wants to hear about the MLC destruction stuff anyways, besides whats past is past.
I do hope this finds you all well ... I still pop in to read and keep up, I still feel the responsibility to continue to keep posting and updating .. just not as often. For some reason I still think W will come out of it, I just do not know if there will ever be a R, the damage done is extensive and I have not taken inventory of where I am with all that, not sure I would want to do the work required at this point just for the fact I am doing pretty well on my own and have been for some time. I have plans of buying a home next year, and filling my life with upgrading that ... leaving something behind for S.
Ok .. enough rambling ... my journey and growth call .. hope you all well God Bless.
