So tomorrow me and the girls venture off to the States fora 4 day kayak-camping trip. Our dog and one of D14 friends is joining us. Should be an amazing time.

This is the last permission slip to the States or to any other country I had XW sign in January 2017
My lawyer is looking on how to get around that with minimal costs.

We go to the one place every year, sometimes twice since they were born. XW loved it as it was her paradise.

So today naturally the girls get an email from her. They call me to see.

Pink is her message.. black is my thoughts

Hi Girls, school is almost over and you both worked so hard actually School has been over since last week, yes they worked extremely hard. How would she know?

I want you both to have a great summer. already stated by her but that's ok.

I just want you to know I saw my dad this weekend for fathers day. He isn't doing well. Might not make it to his birthday in July. now XW threw this at us months ago. making us feel guilty about him on his death bed, Actually he was fine. Yes he is dying, but not on his death bed. In 2015 January he got news of terminal prostate cancer. Nothing to be done. 3 months left. We are over 2 years and yes he is getting weaker.. but hes still

It would be great if you go visit him. He will be so happy. we paid our last visit weeks ago. Said our goodbyes and don't feel the need to return. The girls were never close to him and we saw him once a year , maybe twice . He himself is a LBS. too much hurt and pain. Best avoid.. besides, how does she think they will get there. He lives 2.5 hours away. She didn't ask me to take them. No message to me either. This is her new way of communicating. Guilt messages to the girls.Avoid me.

Its up to you guys if you go or not. i won't tell him you will. I don't want to disappoint him.

She included a picture of him and her sitting at the kitchen table.She gained a lot of weight. Empty look in her eyes and half a smile. She has the biggest smile under normal times. It was hard to look at but it is what it is.

Time to pack the Jeep, load the kayaks and gear. Tomorrow early departure. Cant wait.
