      From keeta35 Sunday

      I feel for you Pennyphone! I feel that way whenever my daughter is with her dad and the few days I have with her are not enough and I just really feel for you! I understand that loneliness and emptiness and that separation one feels when their child is not there. I wish I could be there to fill in the gap. I don't know what else to say? I wish you could get more time with him some how? Hang in. Go be with friends or go to a movie maybe? You will be in my prayers....
