Especially for me, because I missed several years of my sons life when his mother refused to let me see him. The fight over that dragged through the courts for years, then I had to move to Santa Fe because I couldn't find work in Indiana and ended up with no place to live, so that took a couple more years. I got custody of him a few months after I returned to Indiana because the state committed my ex to a mental hospital for a year, and he stayed living with me after she got out. She had a new baby a year and a half ago and lost interest in my son after all the years she fought to keep me out of his life, she chose to walk away from him herself. He hasn't seen her in over a year! I still feel bad because I missed out on so much. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 1/24/13 3:28 AM, "Jim Nichols" <jhnichols at lighttube.net> wrote: >Nice portrait, Chris.
