Okay, I need someone to donate their airline miles to me...

so I can fly to Russia to celebrate H3's birthday with him - but since we all that won't happen, I'll just use this time to vent!

When I first read the email from the court today (see post earlier today), I saw the date a September 2008 date on it, and for a few minutes, was convinced that we had a court date, and would be in Russia in time to celebrate H3's birthday. it will be another birthday without his family. It's SO disappointing. 4 birthdays spent apart from his parents, and little brother - not to mention the rest of his family. Each time one passes I tell myself it was the last he'll spend without his family - and then another year passes and he's still there and we're still here. There is nothing he can do, and our hands are tied, despite our persistent, ongoing efforts to secure a court date.

I'm not sure I feel much better after venting, and I haven't been notified by Delta Airlines that I've just received oodles of airlines, but, I can't sit and wallow in self-pity much longer. I have a ton of documents to complete, and little time to do it in. Wish me luck, and pray for all of us - especially H3, who is on the verge of another lonely birthday.
