Happy New Year my Best Friend!

Always thinking of our Alienated Daughter and everything we are all missing out on. 
It wasn't until May 2014 that I shared this with my wife. She and 3 of our girls were with me of course, along with my sister Jackie and my niece Jasmine, but I didn't want to ruin the moment for them. It was New years Eve after all and we were in Time's Square. Why ruin a memorable and joyous event by reminding everyone that our family is not complete? 
I wanted the last year to end on a happy note and the new one to start with one as well and try to forget for a moment that I have a daughter who isn't allowed to love me or my side of the family. 
But I can't forget. I miss her so much. But I hurt for her and what she is going through. 
I wanted her to know that I am always thinking about her and that we connected on this special night.
Even though our daughter, my best friend, is alienated and couldn't be with me in Times Square on New Years Eve to watch the ball drop and ring in the new year something I always dreamed about doing with her, we will always have this special moment. In my mind, in my heart, and in some special place, somehow she was with me and we shared this. 
Happy New Year Best Friend!
