Holiday Season

Holiday season is coming to a depressing end. I was scheduled to have Anand with me from Dec 25 to Jan 1 during Winter Vacation. I still have not had any contact with my son. That is 162 days and counting. Still no word on his whereabouts or welfare.

Not sure how much longer 'The One Above' wants to keep testing me and my son. How much longer do we two need to endure this forceful separation that neither of us deserve much less want? If a 40 year old like me is having so much difficulty coping with this, I wonder how my 3 year old is coping with it. I can only hope God gives him unending strength.

I hope he had a good Holiday season. I wish him health, happiness and hope (that things will get better...as they always do). Stay strong, my little angel!!!

Lost time

Just summed up all the visitation time I and my son have missed with each other since he was taken to India. It is a total of 788 hours. That is 32 days and 20 hours. That is excluding the 35 phone conversations I and he would have had. Not sure who will return this valuable time to the two of us.

Still no word on his welfare or whereabouts. Though it is getting tougher with each passing day, I am managing to stay optimistic and strong. And praying that Anand is happy, healthy and strong. For Anand and I, glass is always half full.
