Father's Day in Ellensburg!!
It was a lovely day to drive over the mountains. Buster and I left the house today at 8AM. Washington certainly is pretty, this time of year. Still some snow capped mountain tops amidst a sea of green.
We picked up Max, Hope and Liam and went to a park for some fun in the sun.
The kids were very happy to see Buster and me. All four of my wonderful children are growing up beautifully. I was excited and happy to see them too.
It was so nice to play with them, hear them laugh, hold them in my arms. It really was a great day!
I love my kids and hope that they know that. I watch them as they interact and I study the people that they are becoming. I miss my kids, but as in all life, things move forward.
At lunch I told them that Buster and I were moving to California. As it appeared to me, it really didn't phase them too much.
We enjoyed our lunch and called both Poppa and Grampy to wish them a Happy Father's Day. Hope fell off her chair and started to cry. I picked her up and comforted her. She put her arms around me and held me tight.
After the park and lunch we went to a movie, Buster and Max saw the X-Men III and Hope, Liam and I went to see the Garfield Movie "A tale of two kitties"
During the movie Liam sat in my lap eating his popcorn and explained the movie to me in the confusing parts. He smiles and laughs non stop. I have great kids and Moira & Dom are doing a excellent job of raising them.
Although entertainment options are limited in Ellensburg, we never lack for new ideas of what to do. Here are the kids standing on giant blocks of styrofoam. Never a dull moment.
Goodbye kids! See ya. . . .

they are you Tom. Like it or not . They will hate what you hate if you do not tell them other wise. I'm not preaching, I am just thinking about my own situation. but think about it. Think about where you are as a man. Do you want any of your kids to know the pain you deal with every day? Yeah they will hurt eventually. But Let them hate thier own fears , not yours, As fathers , what right do we really have? We dro a seed and hope it ain't like us , but at the same time every thing like us we think is "cute". but it ain't cute Tom. We have problems and issues and our kids must never know. So here is a fathers pact.(I probably spelled that wrong) but you know what the fuck I am trying to say. Move to L.A. Live your life. You have no control over the courts anymore. You are an entertainer, that means you are worthless. NOT in my opinion. I am an entertainer as well. I just mean forget about being right, You never will be. Just be as happy as you can. Because all you can do is live the way you live. You already fucked up with your happy little life with a family. But you have a lot of good years left in you. En-fuckin-joy them. You son (Buster) is ready to be aman. With or with out you. He is going to be a man. Embrace it. Enjoy it. When he gets laid ,clap and cheer. Because when you get laid you cheer , even if it is to your self. I don't know Tom, I am drunk and thinking about my own shit. But you and I have had a lot of the same shit going on. Just don't forget about your kids and most important DO NOT forget about YOU. You are still a fucking grown man that makes his own decisions. You make your own choices. And your choices are ALWAYS rights because they are YOURS , not anyone elses.The day you die you only have to answer to yourself , NOT any fuckning "god". Just you. Make it good. and enjoy it. If I am wrong please tell me.
With all my best,

Well Tom, as you know, my opinion is pretty much not London's but I am so happy that you saw your kids through 'new' eyes this time. It was so great to read what you wrote, your impression of the kids through the lens of your own happiness. I believe that you are not only ready to move, but to move on. You know my situation, and you know its outcome. But, you also know how the story has worked out for me. In short, even if the life you'd hoped for isn't in the cards, the life you get isn't necessarily a bad thing. I am so much better off! I'm glad you had what you deserve; a Happy Father's Day. Be well, my friend,

Maybe I did sound a little bit like an asshole. Like I said I was kinda tipsy and thinking about my own issues aswell and just feeling bad in general. Tom know whats best for you and I really do wish you all the best.
