90 days.
That's how long it's been since I last saw my four beautiful girls. The 3rd of July.
86 days since I last heard their voices.
People say time flies. Not these days. Every single one of them has been long. 90 mornings waking up wondering if today is the day I get to hear "Hi papa." 90 nights going to sleep without it.
They were taken out of my life for no reason. I was in Malta until the 21st of July. I sent videos and messages every day. Sometimes one of my girls would write back "I miss you." When I asked if I could call, the answer was always the same: "I can't." Then they were made to block me completely.
I chose to do this the right way, the legal way. We've been waiting on the courts for almost 3 months. Notice after notice has been sent to my wife, and for months she has avoided receiving them. Every delay costs me more money, and there's a much bigger story behind why money is an issue right now. That's for another day.
In a few days one of my daughters has her lucky birthday. Last year I missed it. Things were bad with her mother and my lawyer advised me to stay out of the country. This year she begged me to be back on the island for it. So I promised myself that come hell or high water, I would be here.
And I am. I'm 5 minutes from my home. I flew in from the West Coast to be in court. And the other side has skipped hearings I traveled to attend. I still can't call my girls, text them, or get a single message to them.
I don't know if I'll see her on her birthday. I don't know if I'll hear my girls' voices before I have to leave again.
My heart breaks every day. 90 days, and it breaks over and over again.
What I've had instead: false allegations, and opposing counsel, the lawyer representing the other side, who refused to have all of us to meet to resolve this out of court. His reason was that I had been arrogant the last time we met. We had NEVER met.
So I wait for the justice system to do its job. Will it? I don't know. I really hope it does.
To my four girls: Daddy is here. Daddy never stopped trying. I love you more than anything.
