Kaleb

I get made fun of all the time for being a myspace junkie. I can't help myself I love the darn thing. I have found friends from high school, my kid's babysitters I haven't seen in years, my Dad who I hadn't spoken to in 8 years, I was contacted by a man who turned out to by my brother's brother he didn't even know existed and best of all I found my nephew Kaleb or KK as we have always called him. Kaleb is my oldest brother's one and only son. Ronnie and Jodi were married for a couple of years. Ronnie was born with numerous health issues and was diagnosed as being 80% sterile. My mother has said for years that she didn't think Kalen was really Ronnie's son; she's the only one who feels that way. Ronnis hasn't always been a good citizen if you KWIM. He was behind in child support and was given the money by his grandmother to catch up and he decided to "re-invest" the money into a drug deal gone bad....go figure. Jodi offered Ronnie a deal, sign your rights to Kaleb away and she wouldn't send him to prison...he took the deal. I was hearbroken. I am extremely close to all of my nephews. I never thought I could love someone else's children as much as I love my own....I was wrong...I adore all those boys.

So anyway, I find Kaleb on myspace. I simply asked to be his friend. He accepts and sends me a message as well...
I haven't seen or heard from any of yall in a LONG TIME! Thought yall might've forgotten about me, lol! haven't talked to my dad in a long time, don't know where he is. I hope yall are doin well, tell jes I said hi.
love ya


He thought we forgot about him? That was so heartbreaking for me to read. His mother wanted all of us out of the picture. She even changed his name. How do I reconnect with him? His mother will stand in the way and I can't explain to a child that his mother doesn't want us around? What do you do?

Real Estate

Well tomorrow is the big day for me and real estate. My potential new broker called me. I'm so nervous. I'll feel so bad if I don't pass the first time. It's not uncommon to have to take it twice or more; I just want to be the exception to the rule. My mother at the ripe ol age of 52 passed it first try. My sister had to take it twice. I have some real estate experience behind me so I'm hoping that will work to my advantage. I guess I had better get to studying.
