1. Dear Kiddo, Take My Hand Into Darkness

I've met the man who Mom is with now. It was on her birthday weekend in Taos. She met him in the bar the night before I arrived, while I was watching you. When I arrived at Monte Sagrado in Taos, she was there in the hot tub with him. Acting as if it was natural as could be. But how could that be natural? If she had met him last night, and they ended up in the hot tub together, they would have had to have exchanged phone numbers or contact information. This is how Mom always did it. She made a point of introducing me to the next man she would be getting together with.
