I have been away for a few days, but with good reason. My Brother died tragically in an auto accident on Wednesday June 6, 2007. He left three children ages 14, 12, and 4 so we have been scrambling to get things taken care of. Things are settling down a bit now, but I expect it to get ugly real soon! He had sole custody of his eldest (we were able to secure temporary custody of her but her Mother is going to make things hard) but was in the midst of a custody battle over his son, and his youngest is currently in the custody of her mother, who is a major addict doing nothing to improve her lot in life. PJ was trying to get custody of her as well. Both women have informed us that we will not be permitted to see the children. We will continue his fight, but it is going to be a long hard road.
