    Mine was the best I ever had. 22 years ago my ex wife committed parental kidnapping of my son. I could of pressed charges then but decided not too because I did not want my son to grow up hating me for it. About 2 months ago a friend found someone on myspace so I got the idea to look for my son who is now 24. Well I found him and notified him through myspace.

    Well friends I picked my son up at the airport last sunday mourning and we spent christmas together for the first time in 22 years. I have been overwhelmed with joy this Christmas. I thank God and I thank myspace I am now at last a very happy father at peace.

    Tell us how your went.

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    What happy news. I don't think I could beat your christmas. I watched my grandson play with his only two christmas gifts for hours and hours. I watched a great movie and talked on the phone with two people. I talked on IM with Andy. It was pretty good. But not the best I have seen.

    Hello darling flying high, How have you been dear ? Merry Christmas to you. Hey just watching those kids faces light up is a blessing also.

    Awww, you always have been one of my favorites. You know that don't you? I've been okay. I went to midnight mass last night and that was very cool. Julian and I loved it. Life is taking all kinds of twists and turns.

    Other than meeting your son, which is a wonderful miracle, how is life treating you these days?

    You know FHN for the first time in a very long time I can honestly say life has never been better. Thanks babe.

    It could have been better; it could have been worse.

    It would have been better had I had access to the opposite sex and a family. It would have been worse wasting it going out in field circus or visited some of the witlesses and the a$$embly and/or a Kingdumb Hell or gone to the boasting session. At least I had my Christmas lights up, actually more than most worldly people around (most of whom were stinting badly).

    How wonderful for you, old flame! I thank God for you, too!

    And FHN, spending the day with your grandson sounds wonderful, as well. I bet that your grandson didn't mind that there were only two toys!

    WTW, I'm sorry that you spent Christmas alone this year. I hope that in 2008, the situation changes to your liking! (And then you'll be back to boasting...)

    For our family, there was tragedy: my mother-in-law passed away on Christmas morning. I worry about my husband; for some people, having a loved one die on a such a prominent holiday is especially painful...

    Wow...this gets the "Post of the Day" nomination from me....what a truly beautiful event in your life!!

    Just think, if you related this experience in a Kingdom Hall, they would gasp because you had a myspace page and then condemn you for being on there......probably totally overlook the joy of finding your son and instead focus on how you weren't following the Borg's direction.

    Anyway....gald to hear about your reunion.

    Regards,
