Hi all. The paperwork end has been going slow. We are good with the actual paper work but have been having a tough time, finding the time, to complete the required training.  Michael has been working a second job to help come up with the needed funds. He's not complained once and manages to still be home shortly after the kids return from school to give them daddy time.  He is so good. We are giving ourselves a dead line for the end of the week. This has been such a tough week. I am missing my dad so much. He was such a good person. Everyone always thought he was so intimidating, until they got to know him. He had the total cop image going on. He had such a good heart. He was never quick to judge others, always gave you the benefit of the doubt, was always ready to listen, always full of love, and ready to help anyone where ever needed. He always had the correct answer and advice. My dad had such a heart for kids in need. He gave money to help kids that needed help to get off the streets and have a home. He gave to help kids over seas get needed cleft palate repair surgeries. In a day and age when so many people are so quick to judge others he was a safe place, someone that always looked for the good and did what was right. He is missed so much. He had a major influence on Joshua, his buddy. I see a lot of those caring characteristics in Josh. They are very alike, same determination, and big heart.  I am sad he isn't going to be here when Fu Quan comes home. But I know he will some how be here to see him. I believe he sees everything that is going on. I would give anything to see that NYPD hat coming through the front door as we did so many days, as the kids would scream with delight, "Pop pop is here!"  He was their biggest fan. He loving looked at all three of them, with nicknames for each based on their individual personalities. Dad, you are so missed. We miss you Pop pop.
