Well, Jan 1 is the last time I made an entry. Where to begin ? Alot has taken place and alot will take place throughout this most pivotal year. 2007 is proving to be a monumental year. Just after the first part of the year, Linda (the wife) announced that she had obtained an attourney and had filed for divorce. It appeared that it was going to be a "battle", but after a few conversations with Linda, she thought better of herself to battle with me. She came to her senses and realized that she would only be hurting the children if she attempted an all out war with me. Additionally, she would be isolating herself from her children. We decided to ask some mutual friends to mediate between us. It was a relatively good meeting. In fact, things turned out so well, I was able to refinance the house and "buy her out". She will remain in the house through July. August and September will be spent gutting the house and remodeling/redecorating. I am doing some necessary work now, such as having a water softener/conditioner and Treatment system installed, having replacement windows replaced that had developed fog between the panes, mulching the flower beds, washing the front of the house, and getting quotes for minor construction. Elliot has been accepted into Touro Law School on Long Island. I feel like it's happening so fast. I feel like apart of me is just going to die when he moves to NYC. I really don't know how I'm going to drop him off in NYC and leave him and come back to NC. I just can't believe I'm going to be so far away from him. How can I take care of him when he's so far away?
