He said "goodbye"...

Kayla has been with my mom and dad for a couple of days. I have been working long, stressful days and there were a couple of days when I had a severe headache. They came and picked her up so she could stay with them so I could get well, rest up a little bit, and finish out my work week. In additon, they LOVE having her there and she loves being there. I am not sure who enjoys the visits more, them or her. She is so happy when she is with her "Mamaw" and "Pap". She has named them. We started out calling them Granny and Grandpa but she has decided what she wants to call them instead.

Kayla's dad told me he was moving on Thursday. She went over to my parent's house on Thursday night. There was no point letting him know she was there. As far as I knew, he was already moved away. Mom said he showed up over there to drop off child support money for Kayla on Friday morning. He was shocked when he saw that she was there. (As I said, why would I have even told him she was there?) Mom said he stayed for 15 minutes. He did not interact with Kayla very much at all. He told my mom he was moving and that his whole family was at his apartment waiting for him. He never asked to take Kayla to see his family, less than a mile away. They never came back over to see her. He spent 15 minutes and then left.

His family has not seen Kayla for months and months. As a matter of fact, I could not tell you the last time they saw her. I send them pictures of her in e-mail and I know my mom has sent some pics to them as well. I suggested to him many times that he take Kayla to see them but he always had an excuse. What I heard him say was that it was too much trouble, although not in those exact words. His actions speak so loudly. So as my previous post said, I believe he is "moving on with his life".
