17 days, actually. That’s how long Raven will be away. We spent half afternoon together yesterday and went out for a meal together before I dropped her off.

She was tense, upset, she didn’t want to go. She’s scared of the fights that are bound to happen between her dad and his mother. She can’t be herself 100%.

Still, I was acting silly and made her laugh. I told her to focus on the good things: the trip to the beach, New Year’s Eve celebration…

She did cheer up and was in much better spirits when we parted. See you soon, bahbee!
