~This Is My World~

(sent to stepdaughter )

“Hola Chica,

Dad told me the other day that you were thinking about putting a picture of grandma in a frame that grandpa gave you for Christmas.

If you have one, great. If not, let us know and we will send you a copy of one we have that we got from grandpa after grandma passed away.

We are getting ready to have a BIG rain storm, that is supposed to start anytime now…it is quite dark here now. Dad was telling me this morning that there are 30 ft waves in Malibu (the beach) and remember when we went to the beach this summer and we parked in between the houses on the beach? those houses are now flooded because of the ocean waves! He saw it on the news! How sad, huh? I hope no one was hurt at all!

Anyway, gotta get ready to head back to work. The kindergartener’s this year are a REAL handful!! Sarah, Thomas and I are looking forward to Friday for a 3 day weekend!

Hasta Luego,

P~”

I wrote and sent a letter to Sarah’s youngest Aunt, Anthony’s youngest sister.

I wrote: ” Hi there, I hope this letter finds you and your family healthy and happy and looking forward to everything the New Year brings to you.

I am sending your pictures of your niece, Sarah. She is doing great and growing into such a smart, caring, beautiful girl.

She is in the second grade now, and really enjoys school although she wishes she did not have all the homework she does. She does about an hour of it every night! Her last report card had A LOT of A’s and B’s on it so I was very proud. I sent a more detailed letter about to her Dad, Anthony, so if you want to know more, ask him.

She will be playing softball again this year. She really wants to play first base, but of course it all depends on where the coach wants her. She also wants to take Karate lessons which I think will be very good for her.

At any rate, I had better be going. Take care and God bless you and your family. Sincerely, Patty.” I also left my email for her.

I sent Anthony a letter dated 12/20 sending him Sarah’s school pics. Wished him a Wonderful Christmas.

Sent him a letter today, 12/30. I asked if he Santa was good to him, and if he was able to see his sisters for Christmas.

I told him that we spent Christmas eve with my sister and brother in law and they told me to tell him hi and that my brother in law asked me if I knew how to get in touch with him because he wanted to go fishing with him. I gave Anthony my sisters phone number to call if he was interested in getting together with my brother in law.

I shared that Sarah had a good Christmas vacation, isn’t really looking forward to going back to school, but she knows she has to if she wants to be a police and a doctor.

I told him to have a great new year and be careful celebrating what ever he does, to take care and God Bless him and his family always.

(email sent to stepdaughter at 12:32pm)

The money order sent to J on 12/20 was delivered today at 3:41 pm.

sent J a money order for $19.20, today, at 3:05pm.

So weird. So, the ex sends an email at 7:26am and says the Keith makes himself and I “look stupid with all this pettiness.” She also writes, “lets consider the fact that your wife called me at home and told me to come get my kids now. Let’s consider the harassment of my medical providers and not to mention your pettiness in the world of crime when local police officers have better things to do than answer your stupid accusations regarding child custody issues which there are none….And visitation from now on is up to the kids not the court. I am not forcing or pushing it after your stunts you pulled while they were there last. Of Course they were civil and tried to straighten things out what were there choices?”

Keith responds at 9:03am with, “THAT’S RIGHT, SHE DID. SHE FIRST TRIED YOUR MOM SINCE SHE WAS CLOSER, BUT NOONE ANSWERED. LET’S CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THE KIDS WANTED TO LEAVE IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT ANYWAY. LETS CONSIDER THE FACT THAT (SON) ADMITTED THE NEXT DAY, WHEN I TOLD HIM AND (DAUGHTER) THAT WE WERE TAKING THEM TO THE TRAIN STATION TO GO TO THEIR GRANDMAS, (YES I TALKED TO HER EVENTUALLY), THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO GO THERE, BACK TO (EX’S CITY in WA), OR ANY WHERE. HE WANTED TO STAY WITH ME. BOTH KIDS SAID THEY WERE SORRY AND (SON) SAID HE DID NOT EVEN REMEMBER HALF OF WHAT HE SAID THANKS TO THE PAIN MEDICATION HE HAD TAKEN FOR (his physical issue). IF I NEED TO, I WILL HAVE THE DOCTOR COME INTO COURT AND TESTIFY TO THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE MEDICATION WHICH IS WHAT HE WAS GIVEN, THAT CERTAINLY PLAYED A PART IN ALL THIS.

THERE IS NO HARASSMENT (of medical providers.) I AM LEGALLY ENTITLED TO THIS INFORMATION. I AM LEGALLY ENTITLED TO SPEAK TO CONTACT AND DISCUSS ANYTHING ABOUT THE KIDS WITH YOUR MEDICAL PROVIDERS. WE SHARE JOINT LEGAL CUSTODY AND I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO.

THATS RIGHT, THE COPS DO HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN GET INVOLVED IN DOMESTIC DISPUTES. I AM SURE THE JUDGE, COURT AND YOUR ATTORNEY WILL LOVE TO HEAR HOW YOU FIRST THREATENED ME THAT YOU WERE GOING TO CALL THE COPS ON ME AND THEN ABOUT A DAY OR SO LATER, YOU DID. YOU TOLD THE WATCH SARGENT THAT I TOOK THE KIDS OUT OF THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AND WAS HOLDING THEM AGAINST THEIR WILL. LETS CONSIDER THE FACT THAT YOU DON’T EVEN LIVE THERE! LETS CONSIDER THE FACT THAT I HAD TO CALL THE KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE AND PROVE THEY WERE JUST FINE, THEN I HAD TO PROVE THAT YOU NO LONGER LIVED IN SAN DIEGO, THEN I HAD TO PROVED JOINT LEGAL CUSTODY AND A SET VISITATION FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME, BEFORE THEY ARRESTED ME FOR KIDNAPPING. LETS CONSIDER THE FACT THAT WHEN THIS WAS ALL WAS DONE, THE KIDS HAD ALREADY SPOKEN TO YOU BY PHONE. LETS CONSIDER THE FACT THAT WHEN THE FEMALE OFFICER CALLED YOU TO LET YOU KNOW THE KIDS WERE WITH FINE WITHME, AND HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH THEIR DAD, YOU HUNG UP ON HER AND TURNED AROUND AND CALLED THE WATCH SARGENT AGAIN TO REPORT HER FOR BEING RUDE HANGING UP ON YOU.LETS NOT FORGET THAT WHEN YOU FIRST DROPPED THE KIDS OFF, HOW YOU THREW A FIT IN FRONT OF ME, THE KIDS, (HER HUSBAND AND HIS SON) TOLD THE KIDS TO JUMP IN THE CAR AND YOU PROCEEDED TO SPEED DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR. LETS NOT FORGET HOW YOU WERE TAKING THE KIDS AWAY FROM MEBECAUSE YOU DID NOT WANT THEM TO STAY WITH ME B ECAUSE WE DID NOT LET YOU HAVE SOME COURT PAPERS I HAD IN MY POSSESSION. LETS NOT FORGET HOW YOUR HUSBAND CALLED ME ON THE PHONE AND TOLD ME YOU WERE IN THE BLOCKBUSTER PARKING LOT AROUND THE CORNER FROM ME AND TO GET THERE AND PICK UP THE KIDS! I AM SURE (HER HUSBAND) WAS NOT HAPPY AT YOUR REACTIONS ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF HIS SON. LET’S NOT FORGET THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANT TO SEE THE KIDS. YOU AREGUE WITH ME ABOUT THE TIME, DATE, ANYTHING YOU OVERCHARGE ME IN AIRFARE AND YOU ALWAYS THINK OF WAYS AND EXCUSES FOR THEM NOT TO WANT TO SEE ME.

(ABOUT THEIR CHOICE) THEY COULD HAVE LEFT. I HAD ALREADY BOUGHT THE TRAIN TICKETS TO SAN DIEGO FOR THEM. YOUR MOM WAS GETTING READ ON A MOMENTS NOTICE TO GO PICK THEM UP. IT WAS THEIR CHOICE. THEY DECIDED TO STAY. THEY APOLOGIZED TO BOTH ME AND MY WIFE AND I HAVE A VERY COMPELLING EMAIL FROM YOUR MOM REGARDING THIS LAST VISIT AS WELL THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO SUBMITTING INTO EVIDENCE ALONG WITH THAT THE DOCTOR SAYS ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE MEDICACTION HE GAVE (SON). IT WILL PROVE THAT (SON) WAS IN AN ALTERED MENTAL STATE DURING THIS WHOLE ORDEAL.”

In my letter to Anthony today, I sent him a copy of Sarah’s homework for last week that shows “Well Done, Great Job!”

I also let him know that I kept her home yesterday from school because she had an asthma attack during the night and didn’t sleep very well. I told him that this time of year is VERY hard on her with her asthma.

Between July 26th and December 8th, I sent Anthony 8 letters, giving him updates on Sarah, sending pics, school work, medical/dental receipts, etc.

In my letter to Anthony today,12/9/00, I let him know that Sarah’s asthma has been acting up a lot lately and that I have been having her use her inhaler a lot more. 😦
