Anniversary

July 16, 2009 - It is exactly one year ago that I last saw my son. He was with me from 4 PM - 8 PM. I went to the same park today that I visited with him last year. I walked the same trails. I threw pebbles into the lake like he used to. I sat on the same rock we used to sit on on our way out of the park.

I really can't explain why I visited the park today. But then there are a lot of things that can't be explained either. Why is it so difficult and painful to do things the right way? Why should people, that are supposedly on the run and can't be located, be given due notice so they can respond to the unfinished formalities? Why should my son and I suffer due to this so-called 'due process'?

Fortunately, he is too young to realize the significance of today. I hope he is happy and healthy wherever he is.
